A note to inform JH of the death of H. C. Schumacher.
No decision has yet been made about closing or moving the observatory, but thanks JH for his letter [see JH's 1852-5-19], which may become useful support for retaining the observatory.
Is very appreciative of JH's letter of condolence at the death of H. C. Schumacher; also clarifies how Schumacher's responsibilities are being carried out.
