JH comments on quality of Georg Merz object glasses.
Agrees that some of JH's suggestions about meteor showers were probably unnecessary [see GA's 1848-1-29].
Is aware of T. J. Hussey's drawings [see GA's 1848-2-1]; needs information about P. A. Hansen's lunar theory for an appreciation JH is to provide.
Surprised by GA's unhappiness with George Merz [see GA's 1848-2-17]; suggests GA seek information from Thomas Maclear at the Cape, who is getting a new telescope from George Merz.
