32 Harley Street - When JH has received both WW's and Frederick Beechey's revised papers for the Admiralty Manual [John Herschel ed., Admiralty Manual of Scientific Enquiry, 1849], he 'will see how far he can 'bring to a consistency' the forms of tide Registry in both' works. JH is glad WW is working on the mathematical considerations of Political Economy ['Mathematical Exposition of some Doctrines of Political Economy: second Memoir', Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1850]: 'I hope you will work out the true differential equations of supply, demand, fertility and stimulus'. JH does not know how far the duties of his new job - Master of the Mint - will affect his former life.
