'Making perhaps my last attack' on Gamma Virginis. Night air is increasingly detrimental to health.
Sends JH copy of his work on Mediterranean; answers some of JH's questions.
Elaborates on JH's questions concerning the Mediterranean. Refers him to Capt. [T. A. B.] Spratt.
Thanks JH for a copy of the new edition of Outlines Astr.
Finds mistake in JH publication [Outlines Astr.] that assigned discovery of Hyperion to W. R. Dawes and G. P. Bond without crediting William Lassell.
Writes that he was not aware of W. R. Dawes's hand in discovery of Hyperion; will note this in R.S.L. records.
