Has little advice to offer JH about time calculation [see JH's 1849-3-29], except for fairly standard reminders.
Glad to hear that Margaret Louisa [JH's daughter] is coming to visit GA's family; could JH send along the key to the R.A.S. strong box?
A note about forwarding papers related to the double star question [see JH's 1849-4-9].

Tells GA about the internal counterpoise system in use in some German telescope mountings, and includes a diagram; JH knows nothing about chilling speculum metal [see GA's 1849-3-7].

A number of copies of the Cape Results were sent out, including one to Charles Ludwig Littrow [see GA's 1849-6-22]; JH will now try to trace the books whereabouts.
Asks GA if he knows of any rules or pitfalls in calculating time from earlier times [even B.C.] to the present.
