Gives comparisons between some of Wilhelm Struve's observations of double stars and his own. Would like to purchase JH's lens if he does not require it himself. Regrets the weather was so bad when JH's daughters visited him.

WH's theorems on ellipsoids are new to JH, but JH is unfamiliar with the field, so they may not actually be new. Wishes to master mathematics. Still working on Cape observations. Believes Neptune was almost an English discovery, and would have been well-named Minerva.
