Notes a discrepancy in TM's latest observations and those of Thomas Brisbane.
Congratulates TM on the birth of his son, George.
Believes that JH and TM can compile a better comet catalog together than they could separately.
Was necessary to reduce the whole of the sixth months' observations. More scanty than he desired but much of his time was taken up observing the comet stars. Is now busy with the comet stars. Does not send the precession as JH has them in his list.
Observations of 'Comet stars.' Sends original 'Transit book.' Take care of it.
