Has placed £1000 at JH's disposal for whatever use JH and Lady Herschel see fit.
Responds to HP's generous offer [see HP's 1835-1-21] by saying JH does not need the money, and then suggests that HP might want to use it to support the publication of JH's results from his stay at the Cape.
Accepts JH's suggestion about using the offered money for publication costs [see JH's 1835-6-12]; is concerned about the telescope at Cambridge, as G. B. Airy has left for Greenwich; final comments on the comet's effects and the weather.
