Requests reimbursement for £316 JH paid to [Georg] Merz for two bills owed by astronomer royal.
Should Mr. Morris, carpenter at Cranbrook, include canvas for covering dome, or will that be available at Cape Town? Improvements in WD's dome should be incorporated into Cape dome. Apologizes for WD's carelessness in managing telescope when JH visited.
Thanks JH for suggestion on his method of Great Circle sailing. Further enquires over some cartographic matters.
Thanks JH for the gift of JH's Cape Results.
