After collecting and reducing all nebula observations by JH and William Herschel, JH objects to GA's suggestion that JH should pay for calculations needed to prepare catalogue of nebulae. Hesitates to request additional funds from R.S.L.
Sends £10 to GA, exhausting grant from R.S.L. GA's estimate of 5600 nebulae was too high. Recommends asking R.S.L. for additional £50.
Comments on several nebulae, and on GA's receiving an honorary degree [from Cambridge University].
Accepts an invitation to dine with GA, and adds comments about problems JH is having with his vision.
Has sent an R.S.L. membership application certificate for GA to sign and send on.
Is preparing a list of nebulae and their positions; does GA think anyone would print them?
Suggests preparing an estimate of the cost of preparing and printing a nebula catalogue so JH can approach the R.S.L. [see GA's 1862-1-24].
Ready to send nebula data to GA for reduction; question of dates need decisions [see GA's 1862-1-30].
Is sending first part of observational data for nebula catalogue [see GA's 1862-3-31].
Forgot, in earlier note [see JH's 1862-4-2], to indicate agreement with GA's suggestions [see GA's 1862-3-31].
Responds carefully to the question of observational, and reduction, dates [see GA's 1862-4-12].
Has now sent the last of the nebula observations to be reduced for printing [see GA's 1862-4-16].
Approves of form for reduced observations [see GA's 1862-4-24] and sends GA payment against expenses.
Provides final intended structure of the nebula catalogue page [see GA's 1862-4-26].
Provides the information in response to GA's request for the position of one nebula [see GA's 1862-5-27].
The R.S.L. grant is almost used up; how much more money will be needed for the nebula catalogue [see GA's 1862-6-25]?
In view of the additional costs, should the nebula catalogue be reduced to a 'working list', or should JH go back to the R.S.L. for more money [see GA's 1862-6-29]?
Seeks state of the nebula catalogue so an accurate estimate of the remaining costs may be made [see GA's 1862-8-1].
Expects R.S.L. to provide additional money, but JH will finish work himself rather than go over the amount granted [see GA's 1862-8-12].
Is working on the descriptions of the nebulae for the catalogue [see GA's 1862-9-2].
