On the origin of the R.A.S.
Acknowledges receipt of JH's Cape Results. Offers map of Massachusetts, constructed from RP's triangulation and astronomical observation. Zeal for astronomy is increasing in America. Reports discoveries by W. C. Bond and total solar eclipse of Nov. 1834.
Admiralty Manual must be succinct. WB's specialized notes [on atmospheric waves] are too extensive.
Extent of WH's manuscript for JH's Admiralty Manual is fine. Please send it as soon as possible.
