Writes to a lady at Slough to thank her for her kindness to JH's son [?].
Writes to tell of arrangements whereby the recipient of the letter may pick up a copy of JH's Cape Results.
[Addressed to 'General ?'.] Comments on memo on refraction sent to Thomas Maclear.
[P.S. on verso of cover. Rest of letter is missing.] Notified Mrs. Knipping of kind wishes sent by JH and wife. Will notify JH when personal effects of Caroline Lucretia Herschel have been inventoried and distributed according to JH's directions. Questions fate of [telescope] given to [J. F. L.] Hausmann by Caroline Herschel now that Hausmann is dead. Suggests donating it to observatory at Göttingen or to 'Archiv' in Hanover.
