Response to JH's article on 'Sensorial Vision' (1858). Notes on physical and metaphysical elements of perception and consciousness.
Hopes JH will attend [18 June] meeting of Visitors of [Royal] Observatory to discuss letter of [E. A. S. Seymour, 12th] Duke of Somerset, belittling value of [P. A.] Hansen's observations.
Would like nominations for the Copley and Royal medals.
Regarding increasing the payment to the Secretaries of the R.S.L. Would like JH's comments.
Has had no reply from H. P. F. P. Clinton (5th Duke of Newcastle); will write to H. J. Temple (3rd Viscount Palmerston) later if no answer is received.
Has written to E. A. S. Seymour (12th Duke of Somerset) and will send William Lassell's letter of introduction to Admiral Edward Codrington.
Has just received the enclosed.
Has received the enclosed from E. A. S. Seymour (12th Duke of Somerset). Has sent the memorandum to William Lassell. Can also send the Duke's letter if he thinks it worthwhile.
Sends the official answer from the Admiralty about the William Lassell affair. Suggests all the letters about this subject should be placed in the archives of the R.S.L. for future reference.
Please send William Lassell the original letters to take with him when he goes to Malta, as he has only the copies at present.
Has interpreted the word 'honorary' quite correctly.
Has received the enclosed from Edward Sabine. May not be able to come to London owing to a cold.
Is indisposed so will not be coming to London; leaves it to him and Edward Sabine to send answer to H. P. F. P. Clinton (5th Duke of Newcastle). Would like an up-to-date citation for W. E. Weber as he has been awarded the Royal Medal.
