Gratitude for receipt of JH's Cape Results by university library.
Will look into the affair of the overpayment of the telescope. Regarding geographical and hydrographical desiderata for the Admiralty Manual.
Has been requested by George Eden (1st Earl of Auckland) to contribute the botanical section to the manual to which JH alludes. Comments on this and the requirements for a manual of this type.
Is honored at George Eden's (2nd Baron Auckland) request for meteorological directions for atmospheric waves and barometric fluctuations. Will there be any engravings in the Admiralty Manual? The three annual barometric movements have occurred this year.
