Is returning March heliographs. Discusses the appearance of the spots. Has not received the April heliographs.
Has just learnt that some negatives were sent to his former place of residence. Will forward them when he goes to the City. A vote has been made from the Donation Fund of the R.S.L. for six copies of the Kew Solar negatives.
Sends map from his new atlas. Reports finding a region rich in bright stars in the northern hemisphere but distinct from the Milky Way. States that in a Royal Institution lecture, he will claim that telescopes cannot reach the limits of the sidereal system and that it is far more complex than traditionally assumed.
