Points out errors in his own chronometer. Gives thermometer and barometer readings. The work of the bricklayers is very slow. Is obliged for the drawing of the nebula.
The chronometer can remain at the Grove for the time being; it seems to preserve a more uniform rate than the transit clock.
Invites Herschels and Dr. Duncan Stewart to dine with TM. Would like to compare their barometers. Would like also to show JH his own investigation on the mural circle. Has procured a chameleon.
Informs TM that JH's 20-ft. telescope is fully in operation; invites TM to come and observe with it.
Reviews his voyage to Africa in case CH did not receive JH's 1834-1-21 letter. Repairing the house that they bought outside of Cape Town, called 'Feldhausen' by the Dutch and 'The Grove' by the English; they are staying at another home close by. Happy that Table Mountain near the house shelters Feldhausen from southeast gales.
Would like a copy of JH's speech he made at the Infant School Society, for his report.
Comments on a visit to the infant school, including comments on the equality of black and white children.
