69 Gower Street - Has sketched out a proof 'of the composition of forces which seems to separate the mathematical from the mechanical part better than Poisson's, and to shew the mathematical bearing of one or two steps much better'. If [D. F.] Gregory approves of it, ADM would like WW to communicate it to the Cambridge Philosophical Society Journal. Has been looking at [Jacob] Hermann's Phoronomia and would like to learn more about Hermann.
