Trinity College - WW would like news on RJ and Mrs Jones's health. What has come of RJ's Professorship? (see WW to RJ, 18 March 1832). The Somervilles [Mary and Dr Somerville] are in Cambridge with a ' Dublin man of whom you may have heard as a stout mathematician (Hamilton [William Rowan Hamilton]) and who is moreover a strenuous metaphysician and an interminable talker about such high matters'.

Thanks him for the "elegant little work on Architecture".

Two letters; the first requesting him to write a review of Mrs Somerville's [On the connexion of the physical sciences], the second his thanks for the 'spirited review'.
