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.
Has found some errors in the sheets of computations HK sent. Lists these. Comments on astronomical work of [William] Richardson and on the reading of 'The repeal of the Longitude Acts Bill.'
