Introducing a Dr. Warwick, who has given lectures on the Elements of Chemical Science and who would like some authoritative advice on some astronomical matters.

The comet is a splendid one. Observed it last night with his Munich 32 inch.

Has received his letter. Gives his recent observations of Alpha Virginis, and other stars.

Thanks for the Cometen Circular. Observations of comets he has recently carried out. Thanks for the book on the telescope of William Parsons (3rd Earl of Rosse).

Returns the account of Lord Rosse's telescope with many thanks. Weather has not been good for observations, but gives some observations on the comets.

Would like details of the approximate position of the planet [Neptune]. Has heard nothing about his equatorial. Would like it to pass through the Customs unopened to save possible damage.

Thanks to JH's assistance the telescope was delivered safely and unopened. It is beautifully made.

Thanks for sending J. R. Hind's letter about the new planet. Erected his equatorial on Saturday. Gives some of his observations on Saturn. Has sent William Lassell a prism by Georg Merz.

Thanks for the copy of the Guardian containing his own letter about the discovery of the new planet. Award of the Copley medal to U. J. J. Leverrier should allay French jealousies. Gives details of his own observations.

Gives comparisons between some of Wilhelm Struve's observations of double stars and his own. Would like to purchase JH's lens if he does not require it himself. Regrets the weather was so bad when JH's daughters visited him.

Is grateful for the lens JH sent. Puzzled by the discrepancies in JH's results. They were pleased to receive his children.

Could he help with respect to the readings for the satellite of Saturn?

Is reading JH's book and marvelling at the condensed amount of information it contains. Has been observing some of Wilhelm Struve's more difficult objects. Regarding the double star Antares. Has been testing his telescope for errors and found it accurate.

Will be pleased to accept his offer of the glass wedges. Bad weather has upset his observations. Gives some of his recent observations. James Challis doubts the existence of a ring round Neptune. Is not impressed by Capt. W. S. Jacob's observations.

Returning the sheets of JH's Cape Results together with a list of errors he has noted. Regarding further reading of star Antares. Thanks for the glass wedges. Hopes weather will improve for JH's journey.

Observed a bright nebulous mass this evening. Gives readings for it. The comet is proceeding North. Has notified the Times.

If not too busy JH would have doubtless seen the recent comet on several evenings. Gives latest observations of Saturn and its satellites.

Sending paper by Andrew Ross, who would be glad of any comments. [William] Simms informs him that he has improved his 8" object glasses. Gives recent observations for Enceladus.

Measurements and diagrams of WD's 8.5-foot telescope, dome, and other structures at Camden Lodge [to be duplicated for shipment to Cape of Good Hope observatory]. Laments deaths of Julia Cornwallis and J. L. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

Will certainly help him regarding the Cape dome. Gives details of his mounting. Sends a copy of his observations.
