If not too busy JH would have doubtless seen the recent comet on several evenings. Gives latest observations of Saturn and its satellites.
Forwarded Cape Results to Emperor. Will forward other copies to observatories, libraries, and individuals in Austro-Hungarian empire as requested.
Count Dietrichstein is out of town. What is Duke of Northumberland's [Algernon Percy's] connection to Cape Results? Embassy wants to inform superiors in Vienna.
Thanks JH for a copy of JH's Cape Results, and indicates that it was also appreciated by the Emperor.
