Is pleased to hear of the forthcoming marriage of JH's daughter [Maria Sophia]. Was shocked to hear of the sudden death of his neighbor Admiral W. H. Smyth.
Hears that JH is preparing his father's measurements of double stars for the R.A.S.; would like to publish his own work on double stars in the same volume. Would like to know when the work will be ready for publication.
Is grateful for his prompt reply about the catalogue of double stars. His own paper will run to some 250 pages. Otto Struve has offered to send him the observations of some of the stars he is interested in.
Is exceedingly grateful for the Synopsis of William Herschel's double-star observations. Comments on some of the readings. Has read his translation of Schiller's 'Spaziergang' with pleasure. Will be writing to Margaret Brodie Herschel.
Is trying to obtain parts of R.S.P.T. containing the original communication of William Herschel on changes in double stars. Would be glad of JH's assistance. Printer has made mistakes in spite of his proof corrections. Weather most unsuitable for observations due to fog. Is pleased JH is making a synopsis of all the double-star measurements.
Is grateful for his prompt reply about his father's papers on double-stars. Had no idea that Angelo Secchi's Means were so inaccurate. Gives the principle on which his own Means are based. The weather has been wretched and most unsuitable for any observations.
