Asks GA for details about the scientific support provided by Hugh Percy; also asks about the availability of star charts on the Berlin Academy scheme.
Replies to JH's 1847-11-14, with respect to Hugh Percy and star charts.
Outlining his plan for a Scientific Manual for Naval officers. Would be glad if he would superintend its publication.
Is obliged for JH's readiness to assist in the preparation of the Admiralty Manual. Will put matter in hand at once.
Does he mean his paper will be ready for the printer by 10 Dec.? Should be at the binders by the 19th. Political signs need watching. Richard Jones is not well. George Peacock will be home next week.
Everything safe for Longmans. Let him know if he requires any separate copies. Richard Jones is better. William Whewell is mortified at being passed over by the Windsor invitation. George Peacock does not care; he is too happy.
Do not strike out anything he has written. Has been suffering with nose-bleed.
Has received JH's volume and letter from Algernon Percy (4th Duke of Northumberland). Regards it as a valuable contribution to his library. Would like JH's opinion on the papers of Benjamin Peirce and his views on the planet Neptune.
Has received JH's letter and also the one of [J. H.?] Griesbach. These will be read at the next meeting of the R.A.S. Thinks enough has been written about E. J. Cooper's planets.
Outlining the circumstances leading to JH's name being proposed for the new council of the R.S.L. Hopes he will agree to his name being proposed.
