Department of Mines, Geological Survey, Ottawa. Sent to 'Hon H. Osborne [sic]', Rideau Hall, Ottawa.- The trip Onslow mentions could almost certainly be 'made in one season', but though it is easy to reach Fort Simpson in Spring, but from there Onslow would have to ascend the Laird river to its source, for which he would need 'reliable men' because of the high water. The Survey's geologists have descended the Laird, but he does not know of any who have gone the other way. It would not be difficult to go to Dawson via Fort Good Hope at the mouth of the Mackenzie, 'up Peel's River 30 miles and down the Porcupine to the Yukon'.

Adds that Mr McConnell, who has made the trip down the Laird, is willing to advise Onslow on 'all three routes to Dawson by way of the McKenzie'. Will introduce them if necessary.

43 Norroy Road, Putney, S.W. - Wants to know 'whether calculations can be made bearing upon the enormous difference between the entropies of organic mechanic systems (the plant and animal kingdoms), and naturally formed inorganic systems' or expressed another way, wants 'to get at some calculations showing how organic mechanical systems utilize quantities of energy which are inevitably permitted to dissipate in naturally formed inorganic systems'. Addressed to 'H. Mordie, Esq': presumably a misreading for [Helen] Moodie, who must have replied on Onslow's behalf to the advert in the Athenaeum mentioned by Donovan.

62-67 Norfolk House, Norfolk Street Strand, London, - MacElwee asks for particulars of Onslow's research.
