Questions concerning a vacant professorship at Dublin Observatory.
Proposed visit to Dublin and letters of introduction from JH.
Observations on the position of professorship at Dublin, conditions of service, income, etc.
A letter accompanying several other letters that might be of interest to GA; encourages GA to act quickly if he means to try for 'the appointment.'
Offers information, and strategy, which GA may find useful if he is seriously considering a position at Dublin Observatory; much of the information JH provides comes from Francis Beaufort.
