Summary:

Little work remaining in calculations for JH's nebulae. Likes JH's plan to represent 'the quantification of different qualifications' by numbers. Hold payment until work is done. Astounding disturbances in 'magnetic curves' (1841-1857). GA now accepts usefulness of magnetic observatories.
