Hears that JH is contemplating a rotatory roof for his telescope at the Cape. Sends details of a method he has devised for his own observatory. Will send a drawing of it next week. Will be pleased to show it to JH if he is that way.
JS is most welcome to visit Slough to see new baby [William James]. [Margaret Herschel note: Invites JS to christening.]
Is grateful for his letter and offer to show her any G. C. L. D. Cuvier letters. Was pleased to see his letter as she heard he was at the Cape in pursuit of constellations. What shall she do with the forthcoming copies of her book on fishes he ordered?
Shocked to read in paper of HK's loss. Offers condolences.
