Is sending papers for the Astronomical Society Memoirs, on telescope lenses and the construction of telescopes, planetary observations, and the use of equatorial telescopes. Is anxious to see JH's writings on light and his nebulae catalogue.
Is preparing to observe the occultation of Aldebaran. Seeks JH's comments on GP's position on the perturbations of Jupiter and Saturn compared to P. S. Laplace's work on the same subject. Comments further on the sending and receiving of packages of memoirs.
If Margaret Brodie Herschel is too ill, do not travel to London for MPH's sake. Will send Mrs. Moorsom to Slough.
