Delayed writing in the hope of obtaining some interesting news. Would like a name for some asteroids. Andrew Graham's micrometer works well. Further observations on various stars.

Talking about the possibility of discovering an 'Irish Asteroid' or perhaps an exterior planet; suggests names for them.
Would be pleased if JH would look out for 'shooting stars' on certain specified evenings.
Andrew Graham has found another planet [Metis]. Gives readings made with the meridian circle of latest observations. Returns to Ireland soon.
Congratulates EC on 'Thetis' [proposed name for asteroid Metis]; J. R. Hind has discovered a new star.
'Thetis' has yet to be discovered. Discusses names for new planet.
Praises JH's Cape Results. Sends EC's paper read at Royal Irish Academy, three engravings of EC's 'Circle,' and EC's recent work dabbling 'in other than Astronomical affairs.'
