Was indebted to JH for the names of the satellites of Uranus. Will find details of his observations in the R.A.S.M.N. Gives volumes. Is thinking of returning to Malta and erect a larger telescope.
At the last meeting of the B.A.A.S. a resolution was adopted calling for the continuance of the Magnetical Observations. Would work through the joint R.S.L. and R.A.S. committees as before. Would JH agree to continue as chairman? Let him know at the Athenaeum where he returns in a few days.
Is preparing a new edition of Outlines Astr., and would like to know from WL the status of each of the satellites of Uranus and Neptune.
Begs not to be chairman of the proposed Magnetic Conference Committee [see HL's 1857-10-19], but would serve on the committee.

Asks JH to look over JS's paper on correcting tables for barometric readings.
Places JH's name in a volume containing an account of the meteorite that struck ground [in North America]. WP also includes a description of the coca trees of Peru [in which JH took an interest].
