Has requested of Admiralty £485 for equatorial telescope, from Merz in Munich, for Cape of Good Hope Observatory. Ask JH to estimate cost for 'next year's Estimates.'
Admiralty has approved equatorial telescope for Cape of Good Hope Observatory. Advise JH to order it from Munich.
Is skeptical of the American observations [see GA's 1845-12-8], and reports other observations communicated to JH.
Will consider GA's objections [see GA's 1845-12-27] when JH works further on double star orbits.
