Would like FH to study a phenomenon that JH has noticed on the sun's disk and that has no connections with sun-spots.

JH is busy correcting first proofs of pages on double stars. Thanks for binding JH's star [allineations?]. CP's suggestion [see CP's 1867-3-27] to JH's son Alexander, to collect and edit William Herschel's papers, entails too much work for one editor. JH dreads thought of such work. Doubts CP's claim that WH observed fixed star in Corona.
Comments on AD's theorem [see AD's 1867-4-20].
Thanks RW for sending RW's Mittheilungen and RW's Neue Untersuchungen. Replies to RW's queries about JH's ancestry and about the current state of JH's father's largest reflecting telescope.
About traveling to Halton; JH is finding working on his double star catalogue fairly severe drudgery.
Delighted to receive Memoir of Maria Edgeworth [ed. by F. A. Edgeworth, 1867]. Praises Edgeworth. Whom should JH thank for this gift?
