Summary:
Encloses a queer pamphlet, which may amuse him, but it has put D. F. J. Arago and others into a towering passion. The public tends to forget one's existence if too long away from London, so hopes that JH will bear this in mind.

Just arrived home from the meeting (which was convened to arrange landing of articles from the Expedition) and found JH's note. Is unable to return to England yet for various reasons. Sure Capt. Frederick Warren will be pleased to take any message to England for JH.

Summary:
Pleased to hear of the good health of JH and family. Everyone hopes JH will make new discoveries in the physiological and anatomical fields as a result of his observations. Etna's crater is slowly changing. A fireball has been observed; also Halley's Comet as correctly predicted by Niccolo Cacciatore.
