Offers a few ideas to GA [see GA's 1863-2-9], but does not have a coherent explanation.
Once again anxious about completion of nebula catalogue, and about cost over run [see Edward Stone's 1863-1-14].
Acknowledges receipt of nebula catalogue sheets from GA [see GA's 1863-2-6]; apologizes for JH's anxious letter [see JH's 1863-2-6].
Has found a few minor errors in the calculations checked so far [see GA's 1863-2-6]; comments on magnetic tracings JH received from GA.
Might have saved JH some work if he had known what G. F. J. A. Auwers was doing [see GA's 1863-2-20]; has found some more errors in nebula calculations.
