Thanks JH for a copy of his Essays Q.E.R., and adds some family news.
Family news and comments on some of JH's writings.
Confer with William Whewell on magnetic observations, then notify GP. Health is improving. Cambridge residents are angry over proposed changes but ignore similar changes at Oxford.
Forwarded JH's and Humphrey Lloyd's letters to G. B. Airy and William Whewell. Cannot attend B.A.A.S. meeting at Leeds. Does JH concur with Edward Sabine's latest suggestions?
