Would like JH's views on the enlarging of the local church.
Is glad to hear that the casts arrived safely. Is flattered by Lady Herschel's remarks.
Discusses the site of Cold Harbor. Visits the small personal observatory of J. G. Barclay, who WS thinks will produce good work.
Asks JH's opinion on a passage from [John] Williams's Narrative of Missionary Enterprises in the South Seas regarding unusual tides in Tahiti and Society Islands.
Thanks for promise of kind intervention on his behalf, but he believes that JH would not advise him to publish the work in England. Thinks it would be more welcome in Germany. Would like comments and corrections.
Discusses B.A.A.S. resolution regarding the Cape observatory. Wants accurate drawings of nebulae to attempt to ascertain change. Wants JH to petition government to get reflector at Cape.

Is William Dawes equatorial telescope available for purchase?

Many thanks for the letter and check. Will require no further sitting yet, but would like one later to give the finishing touches.
Has JH any of his papers he wrote on the micrometrical measures of the double stars as he does not possess the volumes that contain them. Has erected an equatorial for the purpose of measuring the double stars. Gives details.
No summary available.
