JH is to pursue the matter of acquiring an object glass further [see JH's 1833-7-8], without indicating that it may go to Cambridge Observatory.
Agrees with JH to go direct to the French optician [see JH's 1833-8-9] for a large object glass; HP will provide a telescope with such a lens if G. B. Airy agrees such a large telescope is appropriate to Cambridge Observatory.
Wants JH to negotiate with [R. A.] Cauchoix [see HP's 1833-8-12], keeping HP's name out of the transactions.
The deal has been made [see HP's 1833-9-1] and HP is most grateful for JH's work.
Is unable to get a firm answer from James South as to the availability of a large telescope object glass that James South owns.
JH has written to James South again [see JH's 1833-7-8] but has received no answer; is suggesting that it may well be that [R. A.] Cauchoix, the French optician, can supply object glasses as good as those James South has.
