Discusses B.A.A.S. resolution regarding the Cape observatory. Wants accurate drawings of nebulae to attempt to ascertain change. Wants JH to petition government to get reflector at Cape.
Will not urge government to construct a great reflector at the Cape; believes it should be done through private funding; does look forward to the time when his work on southern skies will be reexamined. [See TR's 1849-10-21.]
Did not wish JH to join application to government [see TR's 1849-10-21 & JH's 1849-10-27]. Committee hoped JH would help carry plan out if funding were secured. Doubts private funding will be given.
