JDF will be curious to see how the BAAS meeting passes off. He notes in the Athenaeum that Kew Observatory is to be stopped - something JDF 'strongly advocated at Cambridge'. He also notes that Philips has a proposal on reducing the expenses of the meetings. For JDF 'the grand economy to be made is in the Transactions which have become most ponderous and expensive publications'.
