Asks whether JSH can send specimens of some of the rarer plants found in the Cambridge region. Invites him to Edinburgh and offers access to duplicates.
Discusses JSH’s description of the leaves of Malaxis paludosa and states that he made the same description at an earlier date but did not publish it. Casts doubt on the observation that they are parasitic.
Requests British specimens of Malaxis paludosa and offers JSH a Swiss specimen.
Has had a letter from Wilhelm Struve regarding the Standard. Could HK bring it to the notice of the R.S.L., and advise JH?
Has never seen the fair copy of William Herschel's polishing book. Will be pleased to assist Wilhelm Struve regarding the Standards. Will ask George Everest to call on him and discuss the Indian operations. How did Herschel perfect the adjustment of his object glass? Has been experimenting with the Josef Fraunhofer spots.
Thanks JH for criticisms of her manuscript. Will outline principles more carefully. Hopes Lady Herschel is 'gaining strength.'
Sends first revised pages [of MS's Mechanism of the Heavens] back for further opinion. Highly respects JH's comments and believes he will be a truthful critic as a friend.
