London - Thanks WW for the copy of his defence of Newton [On Hegel's Criticism of Newton, 1849]: 'From the very little I can pretend to know of philosophical students on this country, I should guess that Hegel's influence is waning'. Further to WW's second memoir on the Fundamental Antithesis: 'No doubt your, most active, intellectual life has produced more important results than that distinction between man's progress as a scientific inquirer and as a moral agent, I certainly never read any thing in my life which struck me as being at once so new, and so suggestive.'

Direction: 'An die Mohr u- Wintersche, Buchhandlung'.

Collingwood - Thanks WW for his two papers. JH did not think Hegel 'had been quite so shallow and conceited'. There are quite a few people who set up Kepler in Newton's place who have never heard of Hegel: they need to be taught 'what is meant by science'. JH gives a problem suggested by a method calculating double star orbits which requires an intrinsic equation.
