Trying to resolve disagreement between author of a paper, William Hopkins, and JH, a referee.
Reduction of JH's catalog of nebulae will not be completed before Christmas. HA's success in discovering nebulae and novae. Has compared positions of all nebulae observed by both JH and William Herschel; very few show evidence of shift. Thanks for offering HA's observations, but space in catalog is too limited.
Apologizes for returning WL's letter unopened. JH receives many letters with postage due from strangers and does not accept them. Did not recognize WL's address in Malta. Gives summary of JH's 3 Oct. 1862 letter to WL that seems to have been lost.
Sends £10 to GA, exhausting grant from R.S.L. GA's estimate of 5600 nebulae was too high. Recommends asking R.S.L. for additional £50.
