On behalf of [J. F.] Encke, asks that Greenwich observations be given to library of Berlin Observatory.
Sending a letter he has received, and would like JH's opinion on it [probably about his telescope; see P. Barlow's 1830-3-14].
Suggests Peter Barlow should test his telescope by carrying out a series of observations.
