Hoping that JH's goodness will help WG out of difficulty.
Answers to his queries regarding fees at Cambridge and amount of living allowance necessary.
Sending Part XI of his own Mécanique céleste. Comments on this work.
Has requested the government to forward payment for the clock. Regarding variations in the observations of F. W. Bessel, John Pond, etc. Has high opinion of Bessel's work. Has been sending books for Thomas Catton, but he never replies. How is Greenwich Observatory heated? Some observatories have troubles with dampness. Recommends book by K. W. Feuerbach.
Has received parcel from N. M. Rothschild. Hopes money for the Robert Molyneux clock will soon arrive. Encloses some items for him in Thomas Catton's parcel. Please accept Analytical Geometry. Hopes JL's two volumes on astronomy will be translated into English, and encloses copy of additions.
Thanks for books. Presumes Robert Molyneux has received payment for clock; this is a very good instrument, much better than [Thomas?] Young's. Encloses a work of his own, which he would like to see in the Transactions of the R.A.S. Sends propositions by a young Bavarian named K. W. Feuerbach.
Has doubtless received his Treatise on the Corrections of the Equatorials. Col. L. A. Fallon, head of the Austrian Survey, would like a Robert Molyneux clock. Can JH arrange to order one and send it via H. C. Schumacher. Encloses some notes on practical astronomy, which may be useful.
New Observatory is being planned on the lines of the new one being built at Obo in Finland. Would like an open letter from JH on the requirements for an observatory. Is there any news of the clock for [L. A.?] Fallon?
