Has received JH's communication. Asks that JH not write JS unless he can write in a 'different manner.'
Surprised at JS's response [see 1831-11-28] to his offer. Because the offer was well intentioned, repeats it and hopes that their mutual interests will lead to continued correspondence.
Regrets the tensions that arose between JH and JS. Congratulates JH on his knighthood. Laments the costs and difficulties involved in the construction of JS's new observatory.
