Sends a copy of RG's History of Physical Astronomy as a token of his admiration for JH's work.
Sent Treasury's retirement form to Benedetto Pistrucci, who returned it blank. Encloses copy of Pistrucci's reply.
Suggests that JH authorize special payment from Audit office to Benedetto Pistrucci. If JH will not come to Pistrucci's relief, then WH will assist Pistrucci. Is JH trying to reduce Pistrucci into submission?
Sends a note to JH that William Lassell [may use as a letter of introduction to the Governor of Malta]. FB hopes that Lassell will determine the longitude of Malta.
