Concerned that the Colonial governors were not provided with copies of the Standards Commission Report; will not be able to get to Switzerland this year.
Is expecting to be summoned to Slough, about repossessing JH's [and William Herschel's] old premises; this will affect JH's availability for a meeting [see GA's 1843-6-24].
Makes some suggestions about possible storage places for the United States' standards [see GA's 1843-9-9].
Intends to accept offer [see GA's 1843-1-18]; JH questions the correctness of P. S. Laplace's theory of capillary action.
Asks GA on behalf of F. W. Bessel, for unreduced positions of a star that FB wishes to examine for annual parallax.
Apologizes for confusion about F. W. Bessel's request [see GA's 1843-6-6], but JH had neglected to check date on FB's letter.
Will try to attend meeting called by GA, although JH is plagued by rheumatism; comments on the periods of Saturn's satellites.
