Arrangements for a meeting with JH.

Is looking forward to receiving a copy of JH's Outlines Astr.; describes an aurora AP had seen at Alnwick Castle.

Invites JH to come to see the flowering plants in Syon gardens.

Margaret Herschel will avail herself of the offer [see AP's 1850-6-9]; inquires what is happening to the letters from AP's father that JH had given to AP.

Note accompanying return of letters [see JH's 1850-6-9 or later].

JH's Cape Results is ready for publication. Gratitude for support of late Hugh Percy. Regrets HP did not live to see completion of Cape Results. Trusts that AP will continue support. Asks for interview. Encloses correspondence between HP and JH to show how arrangement originated.

Suggests JH visit tomorrow at noon.

JH's servant died in accident yesterday. Encloses papers addressed to AP but intended for [Count Jarnac?]. Suggests how to obtain help from [H. J. Temple] Lord Palmerston without appearing to violate rules. [G. H. Gordon] Lord Aberdeen shows no interest. Purpose of JH's 'memorial' to Lord John Russell was to obtain pension for Thomas Maclear.

Encloses proof of Dedication to be inserted in presentation copies [of JH's Cape Results]. Book will be ready soon. Forwarding copies would result in great expense and half would be lost. Let recipients be notified and send for their copies. Sends three lists of individuals and institutions to be so favored. Expects unavoidable omissions.

Received JH's lists of suggested recipients [of presentation copies of JH's Cape Results]. Wishes to discuss them with JH.

James Hayday is recommended as best bookbinder [for Cape Results]. Explanation of how to bind copies for royal patrons. Encloses list of eleven royal recipients and Hayday's address. What shall AP do with JH's correspondence with late Hugh Percy?

Will send 13 copies [of JH's Cape Results] for royal recipients to bookbinder James Hayday. Appropriate to bind all other presentation copies 'in Boards.' Please return letters from late Hugh Percy. Return incomplete copy of book to Smith, Elder & Co. JH suggests changes in epigraph and preface to express better HP's and AP's contribution to Cape Results.

AP's name should not appear in dedication of JH's Cape Results. Consulted friend; awaiting reply. But will accept whatever JH wishes.

Considers it proper that AP's name be associated with [Cape Results]. Explains importance of public support of science by prominent persons.

Satisfied with JH's decision [to include AP's name in Cape Results].

Bookbinder James Hayday assured JH that two copies [of JH's Cape Results] for royal recipients would be ready Monday. Proposes presenting these to [Queen Victoria] and Prince Albert during Albert's installation at Cambridge University.

Was unable to confer with Chancellor about JH's proposal [1847-7-1]. Suggests arrangements JH should make before presenting copies [of JH's Cape Results] to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

[First draft] Just returned from presenting copies [of JH's Cape Results] to Queen and Prince Albert at Cambridge. Sends two copies to AP and 'Duchess Dowager.' Exploring ways to have copies delivered overseas by foreign ambassadors. Encloses system of graphs arranging recipients according to priority of delivery. Best way to package and address copies.

[Second draft] Just returned from presenting copies [of JH's Cape Results] to Queen and Prince Albert at Cambridge. Sends two copies to AP and 'Duchess Dowager.' Exploring ways to have copies delivered overseas by foreign ambassadors.

[Third draft] Just returned from presenting copies [of JH's Cape Results] to Queen and Prince Albert at Cambridge. Sends two copies to AP and 'Duchess Dowager.'
