Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results.
Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Congratulates Margaret Brodie Herschel for her part in it.
Congratulations on completion of 'Herculean labors' represented in Cape Results.
Apologizes for not noticing JH's offer 'written upon the second leaf' [of JH's Cape Results] to send engraving of JH's portrait. Assures JH that TC would treasure it.
Count Kielmansegg is absent. Sent copy of JH's Cape Results to king this week. Will distribute other copies to institutions [in Netherlands] if JH will forward these to Embassy.
Two unsuccessful trips to Kensington to carry out JH's commission. Unable to meet 'Sir J.' Please write 'Private' on letters addressed to FB.
