Has great hopes for the success of the [B.A.A.S.]. Would like JH's advice on the phenomenon of radiant matter to the laws of common matter, which he is preparing for a future meeting.
Pleased to hear of JH's success with his application to the Treasury. Would like a statement from him on the nature of his communication to the Cambridge meeting concerning the actinometer. Hopes he is not too busy preparing for his voyage.
