About some major variations in terrestrial magnetism readings.
As GA is about to leave on holiday, he brings JH up to date on the state of the nebula calculations [see JH's 1862-5-28].
Material sent by JH [see JH's 1862-4-2] arrived safely.
Acknowledgment of receipt of more material from JH [see GA's 1862-4-3].
Needs to know, from JH, the date of the nebula observations [see GA's 1862-4-9].
Acknowledges receipt of more material from JH [see JH's 1862-4-13].
Sends JH a copy of the form to be used for reduced observations [see JH's 1862-4-17].
Acknowledges receipt of payment [see JH's 1862-4-25]; asks for final approval of printing structure for the nebula catalogue.
Seeks clarification of the position of one of the listed nebulae [see JH's 1862-4-30].
Attempts a more accurate estimate of work to be done on nebula catalogue [see JH's 1862-6-27].
The reductions are essentially complete; encourages JH in his part of the work and concludes 'It will be a noble work' [see JH's 1862-11-5].
Has received notice from the Foreign Office that the Russian Government has sanctioned the establishment of a magnetic and meteorological observatory at Pekin.
Estimates seven weeks and £10 to compute JH's nebulae data. Suggests JH use new 'Skeleton Form.'
[Responding to JH's 1862-1-23], states that R.A.S. finances not sufficient to publish JH's 'Catalogue of Nebulae,' but R.S.L. is 'rolling in wealth.' Work could be done at [Greenwich Observatory], where GA is already printing 'Skeleton Forms for Precessions.' Forwarded R.S.L. certificate for [E. J.] Lowe to W. H. Smyth.
Send quickly JH's manuscript of 'Catalogue of Nebulae.' It will provide work for computer whom GA was about to lay off. Prefers reducing JH's data to 1860's. GA's improvement on F. W. Bessel's reduction formula.
