Still has not heard from JH. Has put much effort into horary observations of solstices and equinoxes. Sends JH articles by AQ on temperatures of earth. Will send magnetic observations.
Thanks for two letters. Updates JH on observatories participating in horary observations. Proposes to reduce observations. Sends second part of Brussel's annals and other works. Discusses a phenomenon on 10 August. Mentions several observations of the Aurorae Borealis.
Welcomes JH back to England. Proof that AQ never ceased thinking of JH is that AQ never quit his horary observations. Has sent books to R.S.L. for JH. Has restarted his notices on meteors. Is determining their longitude in relation to Greenwich. [Richard] Sheepshanks brought AQ JH's portrait and bust.
Has received JH's letter of 29 October. No need to thank for meteorological observations. Done in interest of science. Sends measurements of December 1837 and other bulletins. Asks JH to send his extra copy of AQ's Correspondence mathématique of July 1838 to [J. D.] Robertson. Asks more about satellites of Saturn. Thanks for information on meteors.
Discusses observation of meteors. Sends observations of last solstice and details of that night's constellations. Offers results of observations of occultation of Gamma[?] Tauri[?].

Addresses a few last words before departing for Italy with his wife. Sends 3 memoirs just published. Will be in Paris to observe meteors. Proposes to redo terrestrial magnetism observations in Italy.
