Forwarded JH's request for additional £16 [to publish map of nebulae] to [R.S.L. secretaries] William Sharpey and G. G. Stokes. Expects approval.
JH's catalog of nebulae, reduced to 1880 as originally planned, is nearly complete and consumed all of £20 granted by R.S.L. Seeks £16 more to expand catalog and reduce data to 1860, as recommended by G. B. Airy.
Needs to know soon if R.S.L. will approve grant to expand JH's catalog of nebulae. Otherwise G. B. Airy will dismiss man employed to do those computations. [JH annotation: Sent similar letter to G. G. Stokes on same date.]
Officially approves JH's request for additional £16.
