Might have saved JH some work if he had known what G. F. J. A. Auwers was doing [see GA's 1863-2-20]; has found some more errors in nebula calculations.
Sends GA a list of errors found in the sheets for the nebula catalogue [see GA 1863-5-14].
Provides last list of errors and explains JH's role in detecting them [see GA's 1863-5-26]; is worried about the task of proofreading.
Is working on the correction of calculation errors [see JH's 1863-5-31]; GA and his assistants will deal with the problem of proofreading.
Comments on GA's activity in correcting the calculation errors [see GA's 1863-6-2].
Correcting work is gradually drawing to a close [see JH's 1863-6-4].
Has spent much time on figures and annotations for JH's nebula catalogue [see GA's 1863-6-5]; JH needs information from a paper in GA's hands.
Additional information is provided to that sent by E. J. Stone [see ES's 1863-7-9].
The practice at the Royal Observatory is to compare proof copies with calculation sheets [see JH's 1864-2-5].
As JH has made minor changes in many calculated results, the proof sheets cannot be easily compared with the calculation sheets [see GA's 1864-2-6].
Saddened by the poor treatment of W. H. Smyth [see GA's 1865-10-18].
Approves of GA's development of a new type of eyepiece for use with the Royal Observatory's transit circle telescope.
Comments on William Whewell's replacement on the Royal Observatory's Board of Visitors.
Not well enough to attend Visitation Day at the Royal Observatory, but would be pleased if GA would invite JH's son John.
Passes on information on stars received from a Bengal pilot.
Regarding the printing of JH's British Metrical scale. Comparison between the chimes of Big Ben and those of St. Mary's, Cambridge.
Further details on the chimes of Big Ben.
Thanking him for his paper on telescopes. Observations of JH's semicircular map of the world.
Offering sympathy on the death of JH's daughter [Margaret Louisa].
Is sending a tract on 'Probable Errors.' Further observations on JH's article on telescopes.
