Comments on JL's improvements to planetary theory.
JH has arranged for U. J. J. Leverrier, J. C. Adams, and Wilhelm Struve to visit JH together at Collingwood. JH is writing to invite JL to join them.
Has been considering a reply to JL's letter of the 25th. Outlines two courses to take and prefers the latter himself. Communicate with Richard Sheepshanks regarding the viva voce.
Advice as to best way to present JL's method of calculating the orbits of comets to R.A.S. If JL desires R.A.S. to undertake calculations, might be some difficulty.
Arrangements for JL's presentation to be made to the R.A.S.
Asks whether JL wishes to present method [see JH's 1847-12-4] at next R.A.S. meeting.
