Of JH's happiness on his honeymoon.
In response to AH's 1828-10-8, JH writes to tell him of William Herschel's ideas on nebulae and the Magellanic Clouds.
Is pleased that the R.S.L. has decided to publish JG's paper [on logarithms, which JH earlier recommended JG withdraw from consideration; see JH's 1829-1-24]. Please convey JH's thanks to W. R. Hamilton for his letter supporting JG's paper.
JH's and Margaret's honeymoon journey through Buckinghamshire. Concern for MH's confinement.
Honeymooning, JH admits that he is happier than he has ever been. Describes Leamington.
Explains that he does not wish to be a member of the new Board of Longitude; wishes instead to devote his energies to his research. Is leaving to travel for some months [with his bride]; cannot attend committee meetings during this period.
Thanks SR for letter announcing SR's discovery of observation of comet of 1759 [see SR's 1829-3-18]. Asks SR to communicate information directly to [F. W.] Bessel. Will keep SR's letter confidential.
Is leaving London for many months and would therefore like his name removed from the Council of the Royal Society, and also his Vice-presidency to be terminated. Would like his name removed from the glass sub-committee.
