Offers assistance for JH's proposed catalogue of nebulae. Will send estimated positions of recently discovered nebulae.
Assistant Samuel Hunter will send WP's observations to JH. Original intent was to confirm JH's nebulae, but WP soon found new nebulae. Trouble finding good assistants. Note on new transit instrument.
Still searching for journal of WP's observations. Notes on micrometer used in measuring nebulae positions. WP's assistants are not qualified to make new measurements.
Encloses letter from G. J. Stoney, who had journal of WP's nebulae observations. Hopes WP's observations will be helpful for JH's proposed catalogue of nebulae.
Thanks WP for WP's paper on nebulae and on WP's giant reflecting telescope. Comments on and/or raises questions about various nebulae.
Discusses plans for a memorial for Thomas Maclear. Requests change in manner in which WP records positions of nebulae observed at WP's observatory.
