Sending a copy of JH's Cape Results to Hartnup for deposit in the Liverpool Observatory.
Gratitude on behalf of Observatory committee for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Has ordered JH's portrait. Hopes to see 'our Equatorial mounted in a few weeks.'
Received JH's enquiry today. Sent 100 copies of JH's paper on the 'Nomenclature of the Stars' to Peter Stewart.
Thanks JH for having sent JH's Cape Results to Hartnup's Liverpool Observatory. Would appreciate receiving a picture of its author.
