Has been making observations as JH requested of the star 70 Ophiuchi. Argues for the accuracy of observations of double stars that JH and JS have made.
Is sending materials to JH. Reports on continued efforts to observe the star 70 Ophiuchi. Has sighted three nebulae that may be unknown to JH.
If you can send a copy of our paper on double stars immediately, it seems certain that the Academy will award a medal for it. Informs JH of most expeditious method of sending same.
Has received materials sent by JS. Printing of paper by JS and JH on double stars is nearly completed. Urges that the issue is not whether the observations of 70 Ophiuchi made by Wilhelm Struve are better than those made by JH and JS; the issue is truth. Caroline Herschel has sent to JH a catalogue of his father's observation. Busy observing nebulae.
Has returned from London. A preprint of JS's and JH's paper on double stars has been delivered to François Arago. Is finding many errata in their paper. Has received a letter from Josef Fraunhofer and the paper [on double stars] of Wilhelm Struve.
The Academy has decided to award JH and JS its astronomy prize for their paper on double stars.
