Hears that JH is to be one of his parishioners. Outlines the local educational establishments. Should be grateful to know if JH would be subscribing towards their upkeep.
Concerned about the Daguerreotype patent in England, and questions at some length a paper on the origin of freemasonry.
Thanks JH for suggesting that the R.A.S. write to King Christian VIII, but requests that JH include his own name and mention Astronomische Nachrichten.
