Comments on astronomical symbols, and position of camera when photographing buildings.
Suggests alteration in list of observatories that JH sent to W. S. Stratford. Advises JH to include private astronomers on list also. News of [Elizabeth] Baily. Needs to borrow Francis Baily's apparatus for measuring length.
Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Glad that Parramatta catalogue was helpful. Laments government decision to do away with Parramatta observatory. TB suffering from rheumatism.
