A note of thanks upon receipt of a copy of JH's Cape Results.
Is sending JH a copy of some of RW's writings on sun spots. RW has been considering writing about the work of William and Caroline Herschel before the discovery of Uranus.
Thanks JH for his letter, and RW sends on additional writings in astronomy.
Had written previously to JH to obtain more information about JH's father, William. Is now asking JH for a response to the same requests.
Because RW has had no response from JH, he is worried that if the letter and printed material were not lost, then JH must be dissatisfied with what RW had written about JH's father, William.
