Will send a copy of the letter to Sandys.
HH returns three proof sheets to WW with his comments [presumably WW's 'Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, Founded upon their History', 2 vols., 1840]. He would like to see more English names in physiology and less foriegn ones. HH will supply WW with the names of more English physiologists of a modern date if required.
Thanks WW for his kind letter and hopes he really can do something for him [one of the candidates for the Professorship at St. Andrews in Natural Philosophy]. The evidence [for the discovery of Neptune] is decisively in favour of John Couch Adams.
