Is pleased he will accept his book on the observatory. Has read with pleasure the account of JH's work at the Cape, which was sent to Wilhelm Struve.
Has now received JH's letter of the 5th. John Phillips will give JH the exact terms of the grant from the B.A.A.S. Will call at Slough to see the Herschels on his way to town. Deeply regrets that JH is not interested in the position at Cambridge, but M. J. Johnson will go far.
