Alterations to proofs of JH's plate [on sunspots]. Explains tinting process.
'Private & confidential.' Asks JH to recommend reliable writer for 'Chronicles of Astronomy' section in Quarterly Journal of Science. Has purchased and will amalgamate with Edinburgh [New] Philosophical Journal. [JH annotation: Recommended [Edward] Brayley and [Robert] Grant].
Thanks JH for recommendations [see JS's 1864-3-24]. Plans new section in Quarterly Journal of Science to review recent events in science. Shall avoid 'craving for novelty' evident in other publications.
Forwards paper by Henry Draper of New York.
