Sending letter from a firm of stockbrokers giving a reply to JH's query regarding the East India Dock shares.
Writes of CD’s recent visit to Cambridge and the joy it gave him.
Is grateful for his letter. Sends a report of the Geological Institute, which includes JH's notes on the founding of the Cambridge Analytical Society. Sends his own report on Homeric irons and on the R.S.L. catalogue of scientific papers. Austrian science was at a low ebb but is now improving.
