Received his letter just as he was about to lecture. Regarding the Institution, there are five or six telescopes in use and G. B. Airy is to deliver lectures, so JH's work may be useful.
Has been hunting JH's proposition through the books and finds that it has dropped out of use, though the older geometrical books include it.
