Thanks for papers on diamagnetism and lecture on 'slaty cleavage.' Compares with phenomenon of 'ringing coins' in mint. Explains with examples conformity of JT's views with JH's own on geological stratification. Praises simplicity yet completeness of JT's work.

Agrees with and asks permission to publish JH's letter in the Philosophical Magazine. Is going to Switzerland and Tyrol, where hopes to see phenomenon of glacial descent [see JH's 1856-7-31].
Clarifies letter on motion and structure modification of glaciers. JH thinks glacier ice unfavorable for exhibiting JT's phenomenon [see JT's 1856-7-30].

Sends sketch of lecture on structure and motion of glaciers. Wants to conduct experiments on physical properties of ice, and applying polarized light. Beyond paper, is interested in cleavage of ice.

Thanks for lecture on glacier cleavage. Wonders how 'regelation' occurs when two masses of ice at 32° are placed in contact.

Remarks on physical properties of ice and their bearing on glacial phenomena. Asks for help inventing term for idea of 'fracture and renewal' of glacial bendings.
