Thanks for dedication of WS's publication on double stars to JH's father and to F. W. Bessel. JH's 'present position' cuts JH off from active pursuit of scientific research. Compliments WS's accomplishments and those of WS's son, whom JH expects in England come summer.
Informing him that William Mann, assistant at Cape Town Observatory, has requested a salary increase, and would JH give his views.
