Reminds JH to send his catalog of double stars.
Saddened at the death of JH's mother; knows that 'it can't be long before I shall follow the dear departed.'
JH and Margaret Herschel visited the Isle of Wight.
Wilhelm Struve's observations support JH's findings concerning the rapid revolution of Eta Coronae. In acknowledgement of the discovery that double stars are a 'revolving binary system,' JH changed the inscription on William Herschel's monument.
On his German travels, JH left Margaret Herschel and the children at Slough because he feared their exposure to the cholera epidemic.
