Encloses bill from W. H. Allen & Co. regarding Breslau observatory. [JH annotation: Details of bill.]
Received prospectus of Kew observatory. Its objectives seem incompatible. It appears better suited as experimental institution. Refer Francis Beaufort to JH's 11 Oct. 1835 letter to Beaufort defining physical observatories.
