Asks JH to petition King Christian VIII of Denmark to support the Altona observatory.
Much indebted for his kind letter, but is unable to interfere in the affairs of Sir Francis Knowles as he has no contact with him. Encloses a list of instruments belonging to the late W. C. Holford and would be pleased if JH would show it to his astronomical friends.
