Summary:

In explanation of [15:399] reminds JH of all he wrote for Astronomische Nachrichten previously. Cannot attend B.A.A.S. meeting because of daughter's wedding, but would have declined anyway because of foreseen arguments over the merits of J. C. Adams and U. J. J. Leverrier. Thanks JH for standing invitation to visit England.

Summary:

Wilhelm Struve stayed several days with HS enroute from England to Pulkowa, but forgot to leave copies of [JH's Cape Results] for HS and K. L. C. Rümker. Later, Struve forgot to give these to G. B. Airy, who was visiting Pulkovo, for delivery to HS. HS has not yet seen Cape Results, or J. J. Lalande's catalogue to be sent by B.A.A.S. Happy to publish R.A.S. invitation for observations of solar spots. Short poem about Rümker losing a comet.
