Asks JH for copies of both Latin and English translations of Schiller's 'Walk'.

Thanks for his kind note and his tracts on Atoms and Forces. Thinks J. S. Mill's Logic is dangerous. Hopes he will read his book thoroughly and not be too critical of his astronomy.

In response to JH's comments on JT's explanation of comets says faintness of head and nucleus does not indicate non-existence; eye may not see all. Experiments with polarized light produce 'gorgeous' 'residual blue.'

Will JH be able to attend the forthcoming meeting of the Board of Visitors? If not would he inform the Board of his intentions.

Would like his advice on how to publicize Lieut. John Herschel's letter; shall he send it to G. G. Stokes? Comments on the method for viewing the forms of prominences.

Submitted JH's wishes to the Board, but the Board wishes him to remain a member as they value his advice, even if they cannot count on a personal appearance.

Has sent Lieut. John Herschel's letter to G. G. Stokes. Gives reasons for the discrepancies in the report of his paper and the paper itself. Is wondering whether to set up his large telescope further from London.

Wilberforce Clarke, the nephew of an old friend, has been appointed to a meteorological observatory. He needs a list of useful books and instruments for his job from JH.

Outlining the sad financial case of Dr. C. T. Beke. Would JH join with some more well-wishers and subscribe towards the upkeep of Dr. Beke?

Is to be a public meeting at the Royal Institution regarding a testimonial to Michael Faraday. Will JH oblige by doing the honors?

Encloses reference to one of JH's letters to JT that has already been printed.

Has been suffering with congestion of the brain. Moved house yesterday.
