Note sent with package from [J. F.] Encke of Berlin.
Doubtful over WS's angle for Gamma Virginis; urges precision in measurement. Hopes to obtain moon map from R.A.S. during next visit to London. Unable to solve Aristarchus puzzle.
Sends Gamma Virginis data. Will report Aurora Borealis observations to R.A.S.
Comments about engaging a gardener, concerns about Peter Stewart, and waiting for council and committee meetings [of the R.S.L.?]. The Physical Committee meeting was deferred because of a transit of Mercury.
