Has been laid up with a cold and unable to answer his letter. Congratulations on the new baby. Hopes mother and child are doing well. Will wait for confirmation of his son's marriage before sending the news to the papers.
Will be pleased to act as sponsor to JH's child. Could not stay as an inmate but will visit them from Windsor from Friday till Tuesday.
Further regarding his projected comparison of telescopes. Did not realize that JH was still working on double stars.
Appointment to an unnamed post. Is to meet John Lee to discuss the instruments; would JH like to join them?
