Thanks for engravings of Saturn and Jupiter; would like to see an astronomical picture book produced.
Is pleased that JH approves of his drawings of the planets. Hopes to publish some drawings of the other planets in the future. Has moved his observatory but hopes soon to start observations. Unable to comment on Otto Struve's observations.
Thanks for photograph of the moon.
Has not been able to go to Kew Observatory yet. The photoheliograph has to await John Welsh's return from Scotland. A reflector with a diagonal mirror would be suitable for celestial objects. Has now removed to Cranford.
