Expresses thanks for receipt of photographs of JH.
Sends a sketch and details of the great meteor seen on 20 June. Hopes that JH is enjoying the fine weather.
Grateful for informing JN regarding JH's health. Ten years since they met, but hopes to renew his acquaintance as opportunity arises.
No summary available.
Thanks for his paper on the Pyrenees. Has he made any calculations on the depth from which thermal springs derive? The observations made with the spectroscope are interesting. Sent JH two memoirs by Count de S. Robert; would like them back and any comments JH has to make on them.
