Summary:

[Responding to JH's 1862-1-23], states that R.A.S. finances not sufficient to publish JH's 'Catalogue of Nebulae,' but R.S.L. is 'rolling in wealth.' Work could be done at [Greenwich Observatory], where GA is already printing 'Skeleton Forms for Precessions.' Forwarded R.S.L. certificate for [E. J.] Lowe to W. H. Smyth.
