Note to accompany details of WL's observations of the satellite of Neptune. [Details are found in WL's letter to H. C. Schumacher of 1847-8-6.]
Grateful for JH's Cape observations. Has nothing new to report on the ring of Neptune. Has been troubled with dew on his prism, but has now succeeded in overcoming this difficulty.
