Not surprised that actual costs [of publishing JH's catalogue of nebulae] departed from estimates. Reports vote by [R.S.L.] committee. Does not believe publication will be expensive.
[Responding to JH's 1862-1-23], states that R.A.S. finances not sufficient to publish JH's 'Catalogue of Nebulae,' but R.S.L. is 'rolling in wealth.' Work could be done at [Greenwich Observatory], where GA is already printing 'Skeleton Forms for Precessions.' Forwarded R.S.L. certificate for [E. J.] Lowe to W. H. Smyth.
Estimates seven weeks and £10 to compute JH's nebulae data. Suggests JH use new 'Skeleton Form.'
Returned JH's 'original sheets of nebulae.' Kept sheets of calculations. Will write about money accounts later. Lord Palmerston's communication about Thomas Maclear's pension.
Send quickly JH's manuscript of 'Catalogue of Nebulae.' It will provide work for computer whom GA was about to lay off. Prefers reducing JH's data to 1860's. GA's improvement on F. W. Bessel's reduction formula.

Ferry delayed by 19 July hurricane. Studying classical granite veins in Glen Tilt under [J. D.] Forbes's tutelage. Not disturbed by cost overrun of JH's catalogue of nebulae, but sorry that JH is 'so much vexed.' Simply tell R.S.L. committee that JH needs more money; do not worry about scruples.
