Notes a discrepancy in TM's latest observations and those of Thomas Brisbane.
Congratulates TM on the birth of his son, George.
Believes that JH and TM can compile a better comet catalog together than they could separately.
Has received Francis Baily's Account of the Rev. John Flamsteed [1835]. Comments that its best part is Baily's restoration of the British Catalogue. JH now thinks less of Flamsteed.
Feels unfitted for the appointment of Commissioner offered in JF's letter of 13 July.
