Forwards magnetic materials written by George Peacock. Hopes to meet with JH.
Is trying to arrange a magnetic conference during the first few days of other meetings.
Discusses various arrangements of the chemical elements, including those of [J. P.] Cooke and [John] Mercer. Asks WW about capillary action.
Thanks for WW's views on capillary action. Asks for facts about George Peacock on whom JH was writing an obituary.
Asks WW to check JH's draft report for the Meteorological and Magnetic Committee. Illness will keep him from attending the B.A.A.S. meeting.
