Thanks for the palladium [see GS's 1861-3-22].
Recognizes the validity of GA's claim to the eyepiece theory [see GA's 1861-3-27]; JH did not have space to deal adequately with the subject of telescopes.
Expresses thanks for sending Smithsonian Contribution to Knowledge, a report by A. D. Bache, and materials from the American Philosophical Society.
