Will do what he can for J. C. Gerhardt. Appears to be unfair regarding Isaac Newton and G. W. Leibniz. Is working on a list of writings in arithmetic.
Has seen the papers, which consist of some 30 pages, the longest being in the Commercium Epistolicum. Knows someone who would copy them accurately and at a reasonable price.
Thanks for the pains about a translator [see JH's 1847-1-8]; preparing biographical information about F. W. Bessel.

About the dispute in the R.A.S. over awarding its medal(s) after discovery of Neptune.
Giving details of Thatcham Church and of the tablet, which is to be erected in memory of Francis Baily. Sculptor will be sending proof of the inscription.
Thanks for AD's paper on probability of arguments and on the syllogism.
Does he know anything about E. J. Lowe's book [Treatise on Atmospheric Phenomena, 1846] on atmospheric phenomena? Looks good but cannot trust his own judgement. Could not dine with him as he had another appointment.
Will send his man to C. R. Weld. F. W. Bessel will be in good time for council. Is glad he is on the last chapter.
