Advice to JH, who is considering marriage.
JH describes his meeting with Margaret Stewart's mother to acquaint her with JH's intentions towards her daughter.
Sends happiest wishes to JH.
Would like to know the position regarding the Royal medal, which he understands he has been awarded.
In reply to JI's 1828-11 states that the delay over sending the medal has arisen because there is no die in existence so that no medal has been struck.
Is just about to publish the 20th number of the Mathematical Repository in which he would like to include a short biography of William Herschel. Can JH supply him with an account of his father, and also inform him if a portrait of Sir William has been published?
Has received a letter from the Astronomical Society secretary. Worries AR may have offended JH and requests guidance. Describes performance of his telescope.
Has found JG's paper [on logarithms] and will give it to the R.S.L. President and Council.
