Invites GB to accept copy of JH's Cape Results.
Thanks for his congratulatory letter. The name of J. R. Hind will become famous. Would JH suggest a name for the new planet. Saw another new planet last week.
Thanks for his early reply and for his name and symbol for the new planet (Flora). J. R. Hind has informed H. C. Schumacher. Hopes that K. L. Hencke in his new charts is not merely enlarging the Berlin maps.
