Reports having read the record JH sent of [tidal] observations and comments on it.
Sorry to have forgotten the curves; now encloses them. A. Walter has been here and brought the scrap he now encloses. Walter's tidal observations have been useless so far.
Will long remember the triumphant meeting last night. Has heard nothing from England. Hopes C. P. Smyth may have come in the Romney, which arrived in Simon's Bay last evening. The traversing floor for the reflector will be finished tomorrow. Has been told that JH foretells that Halley's Comet will not be visible.
