Regent Street - DL received WW's paper on political economy and has read it with infinite pleasure ['Mathematical Exposition of Some of the Leading Doctrines in Mr Ricardo's Principles of political Economy and Taxation', Trans. of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1831]: 'The idea applying the language and operations of analysis to this science occurred to myself several years ago' but he did not have time to pursue it. DL sends two pamphlets to WW on the subject of money. Had he 'not so often invited, without success, your co-operation in my encyclopaedia, I would now ask you to undertake the article political economy'.

Trin: Coll:, Dublin - Thanks WW for the kindness shown to his former pupil Lyons. DL sent him a copy of his work on Trigonometry some time ago ['An Analytical Treatise on Plane and Spherical Trigonometry and the Analysis of Angular Sections']: It has been favourably received in Dublin and is used as a class book. He is commencing an article for the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana entitled the 'History of Analysis'. WW is to let him know if he thinks of any less well known mathematical tracts come to his mind which he thinks DL should include.
