Has had a letter from [J. C.?] Schenk of which he encloses a copy as it was possibly intended for JH. Will be pleased to hear about his expedition to Monta Rosa. Has found new method of estimating the mean temperature of the air. Was too late to see Vesuvius in eruption. Let him know if he wishes to say anything to Schenk.
