Would like his comments on the instructions for the new Cape Astronomer.
Thanks for his comments on the Instructions for the newly appointed Cape Astronomer. Is sorry to hear of the failing health of his mother.
Offers opinions about the instructions to be furnished to the Cape astronomer, especially about tide and meteorological observations, and about surveying an arc. JH hopes to see Thomas Henderson before Henderson leaves for the Cape to assume the post of astronomer there.
Comments on the instructions for the Cape Astronomer and adds some of his own.
Responds to FB's request for advice regarding instructions for Thomas Henderson upon taking the position at the Cape Observatory. Suggests Henderson supervise tidal observations, but not get involved in measurement of arc of meridian. Hopes to see Henderson before his departure, but JH's mother now gravely ill.
