A note to arrange a meeting to discuss the propriety of continuing the Kew Observatory.
Proposes a plan for the distribution of printed copies of the star catalogues [see GA's 1845-7-25].
Seeking information to help JH prepare an obituary notice, for the R.A.S., of F. W. Bessel.
Sends some books in response to JH's request for information about F. W. Bessel [see JH's 1846-12-20]; GA's daughter Hilda is very ill.
Has obtained puzzling results when reducing JH's observations of the sixth satellite of Saturn.
Has made some minor adjustments in JH's satellite of Saturn results [see JH's 1846-11-2], but the major discrepancy still exists.
GA's suggestions [see GA's 1846-11-19] have helped JH solve his problem; now JH has a problem with observations of the second satellite of Saturn.
Asks a number of questions that need answers before considering the purchase of a large new telescope for the Royal Observatory.
About family health; JH's star counting has led him to believe that all stars are part of one sidereal system [the Milky Way].
Has still not received F. W. Bessel's original letter [see GA's 1844-11-16].
Cannot find F. W. Bessel's letter [see JH's 1846-7-31]; believes GA returned it to JH a long time ago.
