Asks JH if he wants to make any changes in his article on meteorology for a new edition of the Admiralty Manual.
Sends some remeasured double star positions from the Radcliffe Observatory, together with comments about other double star observations.
Regrets he is unable to correct his "little manual" ["Geology" in Manual of scientific enquiry (1849)]. Recommends that John Phillips revise it.
Directs RM and Charles Pritchard to examine late JH's manuscript on history of double stars, sent to Radcliffe Observatory.
