Has had a letter from Wilhelm Struve regarding the Standard. Could HK bring it to the notice of the R.S.L., and advise JH?
About the need to have the standard pound carefully measured so it can be compared with other standards of weight.
Laments indiscretion of R.S.L. president [Davies Gilbert], attributing to JH statements JH never made about astronomical observations and James South's telescope. Clarifies what JH actually saw.
Misplaced papers are now found. HK must be 'first authority' on scale constructed for Wilhelm Struve. JH improved telescope by separating eyepiece lenses. JH's new baby girl.
F. G. W. Struve will arrive in July. Before HK and wife leave for Continent next week, please leave directions how Struve may obtain Struve's scale.
Shocked to read in paper of HK's loss. Offers condolences.
Arrangements for R.S.L. annual banquet. Lord High Admiral may attend.
