Summary:

Thought his letter had miscarried. Thanks for the gift of his recently published work [Cape Results]. Will be glad to supply any information from his own work on comets, which he hopes to send in the course of a few days. Is studying U. J. J. Leverrier's method of development by elimination.

Summary:

Regarding his own method of calculating the perturbations of the comets. Expense of computation is high for an individual and a mention by JH would bring support for his scheme. Would like to explain his method at an ordinary meeting in January. Every branch of science is facilitated by tables and those he suggests seem most desirable.
