Letter not found; item is a register entry only, of a letter dated 17 December 1873 and received on 7 January 1874, thus unlikely to be the letter from which Hector read an extract to the Wellington Philosophical Society on 6 January (see M to J. Hector, December 1873 (in this edition as 73-12-00a)).
