Would like to visit JH at Slough and bring him some communications from J. J. Littrow at Vienna Observatory, where he has been recently visiting.
Sir James Mackintosh wishes to meet JH. Invites the Herschels to a dinner party for this purpose.
Fears JH did not receive dinner invitation because he has not replied. Hopes he will be able to come.
Informs JH that he has published a new edition of his tracts (to turn Cambridge mathematics to physical applications). Wants his permission to use his theory on biaxial crystals. Remarks on David Brewster's theories and experiments.
John Brinkley (Bishop of Cloyne) is in town and is to dine with him next week. Hopes JH can join him.
JW's observations of Jupiter on 15 Apr. 1826, with all satellites hidden. This confirms similar observation by [Samuel] Molyneux quoted in JH's [Treatise Astr.]. Has JH's letter of 29 Aug. 1819 relating to spots on Jupiter's disc. [JH annotation: 'To be added to my Astronomy.']
