The contents of JH's note has not surprised him. Encloses report of the trial for the better understanding of JH. Will be at Upton in a day or so.
The practice at the Royal Observatory is to compare proof copies with calculation sheets [see JH's 1864-2-5].
As JH has made minor changes in many calculated results, the proof sheets cannot be easily compared with the calculation sheets [see GA's 1864-2-6].
Further regarding the forthcoming meeting of the Standards Commission. Regarding JH's 'Catalogue of Nebulae.'
Informs JH about train service [see JH's 1864-2-5], and encourages JH to stay with GA from the night before the meeting.
