Letter from James R. Ballantyne to Brian Houghton Hodgson, in which he writes of his forthcoming book on the Mutual Relations of the Sciences and how he wishes those who follow the Nyaya to also consider the Physical Sciences. He particularly asks for Hodgson's help in checking some of the proofs and providing further information. Ballantyne writes that he would like to visit Hodgson and when would be the best season to travel. He finishes by writing that he received a very encouraging letter from Prof. Wilson that morning and also good accounts from his children. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 5 August 1851.
