Vienna 26 June
I write these few lines to say that our journey here & stay here have been agreeable.
I have seen Count Stadions1 expts from which it is certain that there is a Chloric acid containing less oxygene than the acid in Hyperoxymuriate of Potassa; the white fumes produced in acting upon the hy oxy Potassa by sulphuric acid are this body2.
Will you be so good as to put these items in the 2ps & general posts according to their directions.
I have already been in Hungary but I am going again.
Direct to me till the beginning of Sept at Trieste.
I am very sincerely | Yours | H. Davy
Pray remember me to all at the R.I.
