This letter will be delivered by Prof. [C. A.?] Jensen of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, a distinguished painter. Would like him to paint a portrait of JH if agreeable.
Recommending Capt. Zahrtman of the Royal Danish Navy. Hopes to hear good news of JH.
Apologizes for having been too busy to sit for a portrait as proposed, thanks HO for his poems, and describes JH's current experiments related to photography.
Offers HO a small requiem, which JH's family sung at the beginning of the astronomical year at the memorial of the 40-foot reflector.
Will be receiving the official news soon that JH has been nominated Knight Commander of the Order of Dannebrogg. New magnetic observatory to replace the old one. Is grateful for JH's excellent song about the telescope.
Expresses his great appreciation for informing JH of the honor being conferred by making JH a Knight Commander of the ancient and venerable order of Danneborg.
Explaining how JH may express his thanks at being made a Knight Commander. HO has also been made a Knight Commander. Will see that he now spells his name Ørsted.
Asks HO if he can discover, without mentioning JH's name, what it might cost JH to be formally enrolled in Denmark for the honor he has received [see JH's 1841-6-20].
Glad to inform JH that there are no fees or expenses involved in being made a Knight Commander. Has had little leisure himself for scientific pursuits due to being Rector of the University.
Thanks HO for his effort on JH's behalf [see JH's 1841-10-10], and then describes some of his photographic experiments.
