Criticizes Charles Rümker's catalogue of southern stars.
Need to meet to discuss the question of publishing Charles Rümker's star catalogue [see JH's 1866-4-20].
Sends documents requested by G. B. Airy. Hopes JH will attend visitation to hear minority view of Warren de La Rue and James Glaisher.
Unable to meet in Greenwich at time JH proposed. JW suggested later hour to G. B. Airy.
Review enclosed document, then send it to Warren de La Rue, James Glaisher, and back to JW, who will forward it to B.A.A.S.
Mostly about arranging a meeting with both JW and G. B. Airy at the Greenwich Visitation.
