Claims 'I really have no definitely formed opinion' concerning public school curricula. Approves of ET's plan for teaching mathematics and increased study of foreign language.
Is preparing a list of nebulae and their positions; does GA think anyone would print them?
Suggests preparing an estimate of the cost of preparing and printing a nebula catalogue so JH can approach the R.S.L. [see GA's 1862-1-24].
Ready to send nebula data to GA for reduction; question of dates need decisions [see GA's 1862-1-30].
Suggests Mr. Rüppell apply to Council of R.A.S. for copy of medal. Mentions the head on the medal is [Isaac] Newton's, not William Herschel's.
Is sending first part of observational data for nebula catalogue [see GA's 1862-3-31].
Forgot, in earlier note [see JH's 1862-4-2], to indicate agreement with GA's suggestions [see GA's 1862-3-31].
Responds carefully to the question of observational, and reduction, dates [see GA's 1862-4-12].

Approves of form for reduced observations [see GA's 1862-4-24] and sends GA payment against expenses.
Provides final intended structure of the nebula catalogue page [see GA's 1862-4-26].
Provides the information in response to GA's request for the position of one nebula [see GA's 1862-5-27].
The R.S.L. grant is almost used up; how much more money will be needed for the nebula catalogue [see GA's 1862-6-25]?
In view of the additional costs, should the nebula catalogue be reduced to a 'working list', or should JH go back to the R.S.L. for more money [see GA's 1862-6-29]?
Seeks state of the nebula catalogue so an accurate estimate of the remaining costs may be made [see GA's 1862-8-1].
Expects R.S.L. to provide additional money, but JH will finish work himself rather than go over the amount granted [see GA's 1862-8-12].
Is working on the descriptions of the nebulae for the catalogue [see GA's 1862-9-2].
