Thanks for the gift of a copy of JH's Cape Results.
Is supplying JH with copies of his missing journals [see JH's 1869-1], and will send more later.
Thanks JH for the memoirs he sent to CP, who will reciprocate with some of his own.
Comments on exchange of astronomical works with JH. CP expects to improve the observatory library now that the Prussians have taken over Altona. Is making arrangements to carry out some pendulum experiments.
