Urging JH to recommend the services of Lieut. James Bance to Gilbert Elliot (2nd Earl of Minto).
Too ill to attend the South African Institution meeting; asks JH to turn in the packet containing TM's and JH's meteorological observations.
Expects an occultation of Jupiter this evening. Hopes JH enjoyed the fine cool breeze of last evening. Another English vessel reported. N.S. Wales acacias are showing signs of ambition.
Readings for the occultation of Jupiter.
Describing JH's observations and comparing notes.
Wind is likely to be higher in the evening. Would like JH's views on the effect that the motion of the center of the mural circle has on the readings of the microscopes. Wind was too high last night to observe Zeta Octantes.
Responds to TM's query in his 1835-1-17 about the effect that motion of the center of the mural circle would have on the microscopic readings.
