Wanted to read JH's book before writing. Thinks it a useful production and should prove popular. William Fitton has been preparing a statement on the late struggle for the chair, but William Whewell has advised him to withdraw it. Hopes he will receive RJ's book in a fortnight. Comments on this and his recollections.
