Is disturbed by a suggestion of how JH should behave with respect to the Duke of Sussex.
Writes a second letter to clarify the first [see JH's 1831-3-3] about a matter involving the Greenwich Observatory and the Astronomical Society.
Believes that if position of Astronomer Royal should become vacant, G. B. Airy would be interested; JH would gladly support such a candidacy.
Refuses to write letter recommending WS as superintendent of Nautical Almanac. Lists reasons, among them that he will try to attend the meeting of [Board of Visitors] personally.
