Summary:
Explains to WM that in the present chaotic state of scientific responsibilities [the Board of Longitude has been abolished and the Royal Observatory at Greenwich's sphere of activity has been severely restricted], the Cape observations have not been published, but JH hopes that will soon occur. JH then asks WM to write when he arrives at the Cape, telling JH about the possibilities for an 'Amateur Observer' to live and observe at the Cape.
