Edinburgh - JDF is 'quite pleased' with the 'first part' of WW's work. He was interested by WW's account of the Poissonian demonstration: 'I knew it was remodeled but have not examined it tho' I have the book. I too have been dabbling recently in Rotation, and a confounded subject it is'. Gives a copy of a memorandum he received from Lord Adare of Edward Sabine's description of the Auroras.
