Comments on WL's observation of the seventh satellite of Saturn as noted in WL's 1846-8-26.
Believes that the observations WL has made are quite sufficient to establish the existence of the seventh satellite of Saturn.
Announces, to WL, the discovery of a new planet beyond Uranus, gives co-ordinates, and urges WL to look for satellites 'with all possible expedition.'
