W. S. Jacob sends Alpha Centauri observations to R.A.S.; uses JH's Cape Results as a guide to double stars.
Asks if JH observed Gamma Scorpii as a double star; sends observations of it from W. S. Jacob in India. W. S. Jacob observes Neptune.
Thanks JH for Gamma Scorpii observations. Plans to have Edinburgh Observatory record observations of 2-3000 stars over 30 years. Edinburgh observations for 1841 published.
Received JH's note of 8 [Aug 1847] and went immediately to Smith, Elder & Co., but no copies [of JH's Cape Results] were ready. Will gladly transmit them to recipients designated by JH.
