Wants to send JH a remembrance which his Aunt Caroline wanted JH to have. The obituaries in some of the papers are inadequate. The astronomical journals need to be provided with suitable information about Caroline Herschel.

Thanks Margaret Brodie Herschel for a gift. Talks about some legal matters related to the death of JH's aunt Caroline Herschel. AK is much concerned with political turmoil around her. Apparently Dr. Mühry died soon after the death of Caroline Herschel.

Concerned about the sending and receiving of some of Caroline Herschel's bequests to JH. AK also talks about arrangements for some other people following Caroline Herschel's death.

Has sent his observations on Saturn and Neptune to the R.A.S. and encloses a copy for JH. Weather has been unsuitable for many observations recently. Has not heard of any observations of a second satellite of Neptune.

Has received a letter from W. C. Bond of the Cambridge Observatory (U.S.A.), who speaks of the satellite of Neptune. Bond also sends details of the stars around Orion. Relates his own work on the specula of telescopes. Intends to submit a paper on this to the R.A.S.

Outlining the apparent controversy between himself and W. C. Bond over the discovery of the satellites.

Further regarding W. C. Bond's discovery of the Neptunian satellites.

Is applying for a Government pension and would value a supporting testimonial from JH.

Is grateful for JH's testimonial, which she has forwarded with others to Lord John Russell.

Can expect a visit from Jacques Babinet. Regarding the planet Neptune and its discovery.

Officers and Members of the Slough Mechanics Institute would like JH to become their president and also officiate at the laying of the stone of the new building later this month.

Sends copy of the rules of the Institute. At a Special General meeting JH was elected president. This is subject to JH's approval. Would like him to be present at the opening of the new Institute on the 25th of the next month.

Heard from George Bancroft that he was forwarding JH's book on the Southern Nebulae. Has not received it yet so presumes it must have been lost in transit. Sends some of his own astronomical papers for JH. Has made observations of Halley's Comet; gives details as he believes they are from a period for which JH lacks information.

Thanks for the account of the large meteor. Has not heard of its observation from anyone else. Has seen a remarkable solar phenomenon of which he encloses sketch and details. Intends building a larger observatory and taking a partner.

Sends a description of a large meteor he observed last night. Since his letter he has erected a meteorological observatory.

Thanks for the account of the thunderstorm. Comments on the phenomenon of the reversal of wind with a thunderstorm. Has been experimenting with wet and dry bulb thermometers. Also with the effect of electricity on the temperature of jars.

Thanks for the account of the lunar rainbow. Encloses account of Aurora Borealis. Has been residing at Bath and working with Henry Lawson. Observed a peculiar solar appearance on the 18th.

Please convey to the R.A.S. his thanks at the honor of being elected an Associate.

Has been carrying out researches on the reflection of light. Would like JH to communicate his paper on this subject to the R.S.L.

Is grateful for JH's kind offer to look over his paper. Draws JH's attention to certain points. Thinks that the reasoning will please him.
