As secretary, GY requests JH's presence at first soirée of Whittington Club [for journalists]. Will JH accept election as vice president?
Proposes that R.A.S. award medals regarding the discovery of Neptune to both U. J. J. Leverrier and J. C. Adams, giving first honors to Leverrier, and specifying distinctly the grounds for awarding the second. Hopes his resolution will not be seen as blaming anyone and that it will have a 'healing and a friendly effect.'
Continuing to try to resolve the medal problem [see GA's 1847-2-9].
Has written G. B. Airy stating his approval of having JH's statement favoring awarding two R.A.S. medals read. Wants to be fair to U. J. J. Leverrier, and does not want to 'stultify' the existing council. Is enclosing a copy of his note to Airy.
