Manuscrito
3pp, 18mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly aged paper, with the reverse of the second leaf laid down on part of a leaf from an autograph album, which carries a biographical caption in a contemporary hand. Mrs Carter Hall's connection with the St James's Gazette is unclear, but she has evidently asked Hunt to contribute to the magazine. Hunt begins his reply: 'Dear Mrs Hall | there is no scarcity of subjects - my difficulty is to select the subject which I can deal with in a satisfactory manner & which shall be, at once, instructive & entertaining.' He proceeds to give a short summary of how he would treat two subjects 'upon which I could write fairly well', 'The Balance of Nature' and 'Light and Life'. After the second he writes: 'A third subject strikes me. Just now the Scientific World are excited by the Discoveries made by Kirkhoff & Bunsen as to the Composition of the Sun. I could give you a readable paper containing all the new facts - which we might call | The Composition of the Sun | or | The Sun and the Earth'. He concludes by stating that he is 'really desirous of aiding you - to the best of my powers. I regard the St James's with feelings of affection - I find it everywhere'.
