There is an opening for a Lay fellowship. Is JH interested? News of J. W. Whittaker's appointment.
Sorry to hear JH's father and mother are ill and cannot visit Bath. Received account of new Astronomical Society of London. Honored to be listed as member with old friend William Herschel.
Honored on being elected Foreign Member of the Astronomical Society of London. Finds that the comet he observed in January had already been seen by J. N. Nicollet and J. L. Pons. Saw the remarkable appearance on the dark part of the moon noticed by Henry Kater. Thinks Kater's theory is wrong. Will soon be bringing out a paper on the moon's volcanoes.
Family news, JG's reduced circumstances, and public affairs.
Has received the regulations of the Astronomical Society of London—a great encouragement to astronomers. Has made observations on the orbit of the comet. Has sent two memoirs to T. M. Brisbane.
Sends John Flamsteed's Atlas and Catalogue. Discusses JH's intention to review all of William Herschel's double stars. Wants details of JH's appointment to committee.
Can he give him the address of Capt. W. E. Parry? Should he send a report to Humphry Davy?
When will JH arrive?
Residing outside London. Will return for balloting of [William?] Bridgman at Thursday's R.S.L. meeting.
