Summary:
Has received materials sent by JS. Printing of paper by JS and JH on double stars is nearly completed. Urges that the issue is not whether the observations of 70 Ophiuchi made by Wilhelm Struve are better than those made by JH and JS; the issue is truth. Caroline Herschel has sent to JH a catalogue of his father's observation. Busy observing nebulae.
