Concerning the method of observation by direct and reflected vision.
American ambassador George Bancroft gave permission for envoy to transmit official copies [of JH's Cape Results; see SE's 1847-9-23 and 9-28]. Smith, Elder & Co. retrieved all letters written to American recipients before these were sent from American consulate. Gratified to receive JH's permission to publish [JH's Cape Results]. Already have several orders. Encloses Bancroft's letter.
Will forward Cape Results to F. B. G. Nicolai at Mannheim Observatory.
Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results.
