There is a need for a meeting of the Committee of Physics [R.S.L.] to discuss the current method of making temperature corrections for magnetic observations.
A committee meeting is being called [see JH's 1846-10-22].
A note to arrange a meeting to discuss the propriety of continuing the Kew Observatory.
Proposes a plan for the distribution of printed copies of the star catalogues [see GA's 1845-7-25].
Seeking information to help JH prepare an obituary notice, for the R.A.S., of F. W. Bessel.
Has obtained puzzling results when reducing JH's observations of the sixth satellite of Saturn.
Has made some minor adjustments in JH's satellite of Saturn results [see JH's 1846-11-2], but the major discrepancy still exists.
GA's suggestions [see GA's 1846-11-19] have helped JH solve his problem; now JH has a problem with observations of the second satellite of Saturn.
Asks a number of questions that need answers before considering the purchase of a large new telescope for the Royal Observatory.
About family health; JH's star counting has led him to believe that all stars are part of one sidereal system [the Milky Way].
Has still not received F. W. Bessel's original letter [see GA's 1844-11-16].
Expresses some concerns about GA's having indicated support for a particular candidate for the Board of Visitors. [Very faint.]
Detailed response to JH's 1846-10-22 about the matter of temperature corrections for magnetic observations.
Suspects that the original complainant about temperature corrections [see JH's 1846-10-22] was in fact working with a faulty magnetometer.
Informs JH that GA has stated that he will no longer work with James South on the Board of Visitors of the Royal Observatory; wants JH to be prepared for possible trouble.
Essentially agrees with JH's plan for distribution of the star catalogues [see JH's 1846-11-18].
Sends some books in response to JH's request for information about F. W. Bessel [see JH's 1846-12-20]; GA's daughter Hilda is very ill.
Cannot find F. W. Bessel's letter [see JH's 1846-7-31]; believes GA returned it to JH a long time ago.
Letter of introduction for Professor [J.?] Hoffer of Vienna.
Regarding the printing of JH's countings field-falls of stars.
