Received Cape Results. Compliments JH's industry.
Gratitude on behalf of Institution for receipt of [Cape Results].
Obviously a ring of planets is being discovered. Congratulations on the discovery. Is the reading based on one night's observations only? Gives it a female name, possibly Iris.
Has been to Cambridge to support a friend in a vote; JH comments on the dry state of the countryside, and responds to a number of family matters, including one in which JH is trying to get the message across that he is not interested in personal advancement.
Grateful for JH's Cape observations. Has nothing new to report on the ring of Neptune. Has been troubled with dew on his prism, but has now succeeded in overcoming this difficulty.
Bookbinder is inserting epigraphs into selected copies [of JH's Cape Results] for distribution Monday to addresses in London. Took liberty to include four copies for members of Royal Society in Edinburgh. Waiting for JH's instructions for dispatch to Cape of Good Hope.
