Sent him a paper on differential equations about a month ago and wonders if it has gone astray as he has heard nothing from JH.
Truly grateful to hear such a good report of JH's health. Should continue the medicine. Hopes to avail himself of JH's kindness when he has leisure.
Asks AD for the return of a paper JH had sent him.
Should have returned the paper before, but has been very busy with the Annual Report and other matters. Paper seems worthy of publication.
Is obliged for his notice of the separation of Biela's comet; has sent extracts to H. C. Schumacher. Sends some observations made that evening. [Francesco] de Vico announces a new comet; so far he has been unable to trace it.
Regrets any inconvenience he has caused but is grateful for JH's act and offer to communicate his paper to the R.S.L.
Cannot provide any specimens of photography or the spectrum good enough for an exhibition, as most have faded. A French chemist just announced as a discovery a fact long since known by JH.
Reports on progress of refractor [see GM's 1846-1-13], and deals with finances.
Wishes he had seen JH's paper before submitting his own; then he could have rectified his errors. Has been carrying out some electrical experiments. Sent abstract to Michael Faraday, who does not understand them. Would be pleased to send JH further scientific communications.
Thinks it a good idea to send a memo to the Colonial Office on the question of a Cape botanical garden. Has consulted W. H. Harvey on the question. What a curious plant is found on the coasts of Africa.
Circular Magnetic and meteorological observations.
Notes a small error in materials WH sent.
Asks JH's advice on the purchase of the lunar model. Anxious to see JH's new method of calculating double star orbits.
Has JH any comments on the first volume of JM's Logic, which the publisher wishes to prepare for a second edition.
Suggests trustees of British Museum make an offer for Mme. Witte's lunar model. Cape Results at press. Observed double comet.
No summary available.
Delighted that her paper was read at Royal Society. Discusses discovery of new planet [Neptune], and the future. Asks about his work.
Double star orbits not ready; R.A.S. waiting for JH's new calculating method. Reads accounts of Biela's Comet. Describes Edinburgh Observatory in detail.
Thanks for his remarks, which will be attended to. Comments on the various alterations he will make in line with JH's criticisms.
