1820 Dec. 15

The two signs may be the height of the thermometer
at two different times of the day: and that there may be
no such apparent improbabilities as to exist
the better way would be to give the actually observed height
for example on the north wall near to the end of my
Bedchamber: and allusion may be made to a supposed
course of experiments to which these observations are observant.

In a note to Bowring, mentioning the discoveries of the interception

system, I mentioned the marial of cobalt
sympathetic ink we used to employ, and asked him
if he knew of any others that was preferable, as being more
easily legible, and at the same time not exposed to be
rendered visible by accident. Informed as he is of every
thing, he wrote me an immediate answer, accompanied
with a phial, containing I believe some of the ink
aforesaid ⨎ I remember used to be our sign: ⨎ with
a line or two as if for erasure, the word with which it
began being abandoned for the next. After ⨎ the word Si
Urr need not be a blank, but whatever else was meant to
be written might be continued in the same line, and the

matter in the sympathetic ink be written between the lines.
