Is concerned about the possibility that the observatory at Altona will be discontinued or moved.
[Matthew] Marshall from Bank [of England] indicates that great demand for gold coins will continue. Mint will be expected to increase deliveries.
Learned that Treasury minutes have not yet been read to Parliament. Will incorporate JH's amendments into these.
Will speak to the Duke [of Northumberland, Algernon Percy] at the earliest opportunity and encloses a draft note to Adolph Petersen at Altona [see RS's 1852-5-14].
