Outlines the changes he would like to see in the column for Equinoctial Time in the Nautical Almanac.
Withdraws resignation [see JH's 1853-5-30] as Master of Mint. [JH annotation of 24 Feb. 1855: Letter not sent. Now regrets letting friends convince him to remain. JH has lived the past two years in 'the Shadow of death.']
JH cannot recommend anyone of the sort requested in letter from Mr. Wallenstein.
Advises against abolishing office of deputy master of Mint after H. D. Harness leaves at end of this week. Gives reasons.
It is against Mint policy for JH to recommend any employee to act privately, as in EW's request for someone to inspect minting machinery.
Eloquently, metaphorically congratulates WH on finally publishing Lectures on Quaternions.
Requests publication of a letter [see John Stewart's 1853-6-11] that JH received from Stewart and in which Stewart explains a method of 'taking from glass negatives positive impressions of different dimensions.'
