Agrees that some of JH's suggestions about meteor showers were probably unnecessary [see GA's 1848-1-29].
Is aware of T. J. Hussey's drawings [see GA's 1848-2-1]; needs information about P. A. Hansen's lunar theory for an appreciation JH is to provide.
Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Owning no instruments, EH appreciated JH's chapter on 'naked eye' astronomy. Notes and drawings of variable stars.
