Sorry to hear RH has been ill; JH sends some photographic examples.
Enjoyed CH's last letter.
Letter to accompany a complimentary copy of FB's new book on logic.
Informs JH of FB's arrival in Manchester and of further travel plans.
Has been working on the structure of mother of pearl and has come to different conclusions than those of JH. Would be pleased if he could send a sample to him to investigate further.
Encloses B.A.A.S. statement of objectives for Richmond Observatory, for which B.A.A.S. Council asks JH to organize goals and support annual subsidy.
Received prospectus of Kew observatory. Its objectives seem incompatible. It appears better suited as experimental institution. Refer Francis Beaufort to JH's 11 Oct. 1835 letter to Beaufort defining physical observatories.
Received WB's atmospheric curves yesterday, but too late to report them [at 1842 B.A.A.S. meeting]. Final report will be presented at next [1843] meeting.
Reviews WB's assistance in JH's meteorological investigations as testimonial on behalf of WB's application for position of curator at Kew Observatory.
Offers to meet FB at Manchester B.A.A.S. meeting and to bring FB to Collingwood for a quiet visit.
Alerts WW that F. W. Bessel, in very poor health, will attend the Manchester B.A.A.S. meeting. JH plans to bring Bessel to Collingwood after the meeting.
Has stayed in Manchester an extra day, and has managed to avoid becoming involved in the organization of next year's B.A.A.S. meeting at Cork; talks about plans for F. W. Bessel to visit Collingwood, and about JH's plans to return home.
