Sending Part XI of his own Mécanique céleste. Comments on this work.
JH's geological specimen is a piece of granular quartz, found in great quantities in Berks, Wilts, and Herts. JH promised to show him some of the garnets found by [J. S.?] Henslow in Anglesea.
Apologizes for late reply. Includes news. Hopes to see JH in Berne in summer. Has forgotten price agreed on for object.
The Germans are printing many of William Herschel's papers; comments that 'there does not pass a month but something appears in print.'
