Is not certain whether Mrs. Jones has written, but wishes to let her know his health is much better. Has heard good reports of JH's memoir of Francis Baily. Frightful tragedy for the Youngs. Is James well again? Hopes JH's family members are well.
Changing a date of meeting for the magnetic committee of the B.A.A.S., and inviting GA to be there.
Thanks GA for offer of accommodation [see GA's 1844-11-2], but JH says he must stay with Miss [Elizabeth] Baily at Tavistock Place.
Is publishing a work on rare atmospheric phenomena. Lists names of persons who have assisted with observations. Would like to inscribe the book to JH.
Regarding L. F. Menabrea's papers, thinks he is a good mathematician. Is not so sure about Augusta A. King's (Lady L[ovelace]) notes.
Asks HL for comments about the question of continuing the magnetic observations.
Observed Comet Mauvais. Is grateful for JH's intervention on Observatory matters. Extra Meridian Instruments defective. Continues observations of variables. F. E. Wilmot's land survey cancelled. Magnetic survey progressing. Mary Maclear ailing.
[Form letter] Asks recipients to consider value of magnetical research supported by British government and submit opinions on whether B.A.A.S. should seek continuation of this support after present agreement with government expires at end of 1845.
Not acquainted with proposal by A. T. Kupffer. Replies to queries by B.A.A.S. committee regarding continuation of magnetic and meteorological observatories. Expects self-registering instruments to supersede human observers soon.
