JH is to pursue the matter of acquiring an object glass further [see JH's 1833-7-8], without indicating that it may go to Cambridge Observatory.
Agrees with JH to go direct to the French optician [see JH's 1833-8-9] for a large object glass; HP will provide a telescope with such a lens if G. B. Airy agrees such a large telescope is appropriate to Cambridge Observatory.
Wants JH to negotiate with [R. A.] Cauchoix [see HP's 1833-8-12], keeping HP's name out of the transactions.
The deal has been made [see HP's 1833-9-1] and HP is most grateful for JH's work.
Has placed £1000 at JH's disposal for whatever use JH and Lady Herschel see fit.
Accepts JH's suggestion about using the offered money for publication costs [see JH's 1835-6-12]; is concerned about the telescope at Cambridge, as G. B. Airy has left for Greenwich; final comments on the comet's effects and the weather.
Comments on observation of comets, the position of Southern Hemisphere stars, and the observation of an annular eclipse.
A note of thanks for sending HP a full account of the welcoming dinner given for JH.
Agrees to arrangements suggested by JH [see JH's 1839-3-30] regarding publication of JH's Cape Results.
Elected today as Chancellor of Cambridge University. Thanks for JH's support.
