Slough - JH playing on WW's enthusiasm for hexameters. Edward Sabine has proposed to spend £520 of the British Association's grant on a portable declination magnetometer on Weber's construction to send to [James Reddie?]. Have WW and Peacock any objection? JH sees none 'provided R. can satisfy himself that he has so completely reduced the work to regular systematic procedure'.
