Bereik en inhoud
WW has just written a letter to JCH concerning the importance of his experiment to measure the density of the earth and therefore his inability to return for the forthcoming elections at Cambridge [see WW to JCH, 4 June 1826]. If JCH is not going to Cambridge he should get somebody else to open the letter he addressed to him and deal with the contents. WW and George Airy 'are working hard and getting on as well as the nature of our trade allows which is to carry 7 chronometers up and down 1200 feet of vertical ladders every day, and to watch the dangling of a brass bar with a brass bob at the end of it'.
