Will forward Cape Results to F. B. G. Nicolai at Mannheim Observatory.
Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results.
American ambassador George Bancroft gave permission for envoy to transmit official copies [of JH's Cape Results; see SE's 1847-9-23 and 9-28]. Smith, Elder & Co. retrieved all letters written to American recipients before these were sent from American consulate. Gratified to receive JH's permission to publish [JH's Cape Results]. Already have several orders. Encloses Bancroft's letter.
