Thanks for the pheasants. Has a communication for the R.A.S.
Hugh Percy has approved the arrangements, which JH had made with R. A. Cauchoix [see JH's 1833-9-29].
Called on him yesterday to tell him that [Robert?] Maconochie has a copy of a work that JH wants and he would most likely let him have it.
Has laid JH's letter about the Cape expedition before the Board. Captain J. C. Ross has arrived safely.
Hopes JH is still in England as the barometer indicates a gale. Gives some of his recent star observations. Was disappointed with the state of James South's instruments at Kensington. Met W. S. Stratford and Thomas Henderson there. William Lassell is an ingenious man.
Arrangements related to JH's going to the Cape.
More about packing and domestic arrangements [see JH's 1833-9-28 or later]; JH asks MH to write to James South to thank him for forwarding a packet to JH.
Still further to packing and domestic arrangements [see JH's 1833-10-26], which seem to be more frenetic and nearing finality.
Hopes JE will write to JH at Cape. Responds to JE's comments on JH's method of dealing with double stars. Thanks for generous comments on JH's Prelim. Discourse.
Sending a proof of a paper he is now having printed. Wishes him all the best for his forthcoming expedition.
Was pleased to receive JH's letter and his observations of Etna. Would like his memoir on the Nebulae of the Southern Hemisphere. Wishes him a prosperous time at the Cape. Would like some of the copper coins from Madagascar.
