Invites RS to dinner in Collingwood on 10 [July], as F. G. W. Struve will be there. U. J. J. Leverrier may also come, but G. B. Airy and John Lubbock cannot attend.

Suggests RS visit Hawkhurst ca. 12 July as U. J. J. Leverrier, F. G. W. Struve, and J. C. Adams will be visiting. Suggests RS come with [W. R.] Dawes. JH's book [Cape Results] is nearly ready for private distribution. Asks RS that JH be allowed to tell parties, to whom a copy of the engraving of JH's portrait will be given, that it is a gift from RS, lest JH be considered immodest for giving his own 'effigy.'
