Note to accompany return of printed text [see GA's 1851-3-31], with one annotation enclosed.
A number of options are proposed by JH to help GA solve his problem with the mercury level [see GA's 1856-4-14]; JH is feeling much better but fears he may 'never again be able to walk.'
Responds, clearing up the misunderstood instruction [see GA's 1851-4-3].
JH is very ill; would GA please deal with the disbursement of funds from Melbourne University [see JH's 1854-10-17].
A note of information about the impending forwarding of all Melbourne University materials to GA [see JH's 1855-3-23].
A letter of information, together with a list of all material, sent with the material, to GA [see JH's 1855-4-13].
A letter to accompany Frederick McCoy's 1855-3-9, indicating that it seems appropriate to pay the bills. One of the professors just appointed has died in Australia.
Further about the telescope to be donated by Hugh Percy [see JH's 1833-8-15], along with a promise that JH will write to R. A. Cauchoix about the telescope.
A note to accompany the forwarding of a communication to GA.
Has had a letter from Melbourne University, with instructions to transfer all the money to Melbourne's agent in London [see GA's 1855-5-30]; JH is slowly recovering.
Further instructions from Melbourne about the transfer of funds [see JH's 1855-7-8]; will be happy to get rid of this problem.
Thank you note upon receipt of the book of observations [see GA's 1853-2-1].
A number of copies of the Cape Results were sent out, including one to Charles Ludwig Littrow [see GA's 1849-6-22]; JH will now try to trace the books whereabouts.
Has tried a number of different fractional projections, some more interesting than others [see GA's 1860-12-7].
Has been requested to prepare a manual of scientific instructions for the use of ship's officers, and is asking GA to prepare a section on astronomy.
Has received GA's manuscript instructions for ship's officers [see GA's 1848-1-9]; there is no hurry on the remaining pages.
Comments on all of GA's instructions for ship's officers [see JH's 1848-1-10], mostly suggesting some additions about meteor showers.
Agrees that some of JH's suggestions about meteor showers were probably unnecessary [see GA's 1848-1-29].
Agrees that no requests for additional observations should be made of Thomas Maclear; Admiralty Manual is about to be printed [see GA's 1848-7-15].
GA and JH are on a committee (with Thomas Henderson) of the B.A.A.S. to supervise the reduction of N. L. Lacaille's star observations; JH encloses a draft report.
