Is very grateful for his assistance and encloses the page of the report in which he publicly acknowledges this. Further results since the return of the great atmospheric wave of 1845.
Does JH think it worthwhile to extend his atmospheric wave investigation? Will be at the B.A.A.S. meeting at Oxford.
Informing JH that he has sent a letter to John Lee [RS:HS.4.117] and that Lee agrees with WB and wonders if it would be possible to obtain JH's support. Encloses drawings and details of Francis Ronalds's self registering barometer.
JH avoids participating in meteorological enquiry. Suggests improvements on WB's plan to establish government office to collect and publish meteorological reports from worldwide network of military stations. Has read Francis Ronalds's papers.
Lord Auckland [George Eden] asked JH to edit [Admiralty Manual] for officers on surveying and exploring expeditions. Charles Wheatstone will prepare instructions for meteorological observations. Asks WB to write instructions on detecting 'atmospheric waves and barometric fluctuations.'
Is honored at George Eden's (2nd Baron Auckland) request for meteorological directions for atmospheric waves and barometric fluctuations. Will there be any engravings in the Admiralty Manual? The three annual barometric movements have occurred this year.
