Allerly by Melrose - WW will no doubt have heard of the vacancy in the Chair of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University: Would WW give a testimonial with reference to DB's scientific labours. He has just discovered lines produced in the spectrum of the action of the Earth's atmosphere. It will be curious 'to determine the specific absorbent action of the atmospheres of all the planets and satellites'.
