A note of thanks for being elected to membership in the R.A.S.
A note to inform JH of the death of H. C. Schumacher.
Is concerned about the possibility that the observatory at Altona will be discontinued or moved.
No decision has yet been made about closing or moving the observatory, but thanks JH for his letter [see JH's 1852-5-19], which may become useful support for retaining the observatory.
Is very appreciative of JH's letter of condolence at the death of H. C. Schumacher; also clarifies how Schumacher's responsibilities are being carried out.
