Needs someone to translate German/Latin letters; about James Ross's polar expedition.
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.
