Is disturbed by a suggestion of how JH should behave with respect to the Duke of Sussex.
Writes a second letter to clarify the first [see JH's 1831-3-3] about a matter involving the Greenwich Observatory and the Astronomical Society.
Refuses to write letter recommending WS as superintendent of Nautical Almanac. Lists reasons, among them that he will try to attend the meeting of [Board of Visitors] personally.
Believes that if position of Astronomer Royal should become vacant, G. B. Airy would be interested; JH would gladly support such a candidacy.
