A note of thanks upon receipt of a copy of JH's Cape Results.
Is sending JH a copy of some of RW's writings on sun spots. RW has been considering writing about the work of William and Caroline Herschel before the discovery of Uranus.
Thanks JH for his letter, and RW sends on additional writings in astronomy.
Had written previously to JH to obtain more information about JH's father, William. Is now asking JH for a response to the same requests.
Because RW has had no response from JH, he is worried that if the letter and printed material were not lost, then JH must be dissatisfied with what RW had written about JH's father, William.
Has sent RW a copy of JH's catalog of nebulae and also a biographical sketch of JH's father. Thanks RW for and praises RW's works on sun spots and on the aurora borealis. Notes that G. B. Airy is now disposed to accepting the existence of solar 'willow leaves.'
Thanks RW for sending RW's Mittheilungen and RW's Neue Untersuchungen. Replies to RW's queries about JH's ancestry and about the current state of JH's father's largest reflecting telescope.
Thanks RW for sending him a photograph of RW; sends photograph of JH in return.
Thanks RW for sending copies of RW's memoir on JH's father. States that JH has now revised a catalogue of all JH's father's double stars.
