Flamsteed House, Greenwich -- Thanks WW for his letter of congratulations on Hubert's [Hubert Airy] Scholarship. GA gives a few remarks concerning the questions set in WW's papers. The confusion arising from the first question probably arises from 'the floating idea, that inches multiplied by inches produce square inches'. GA found the solution to question 23 very quickly.
