W. S. Jacob sends Alpha Centauri observations to R.A.S.; uses JH's Cape Results as a guide to double stars.
Asks if JH observed Gamma Scorpii as a double star; sends observations of it from W. S. Jacob in India. W. S. Jacob observes Neptune.
Responds to CS's [see CS's 1847-7-14] request for observations of Gamma Scorpii as a double star. JH comments on CS having omitted J. C. Adams from the list of Neptune discoverers.
Thanks JH for Gamma Scorpii observations. Plans to have Edinburgh Observatory record observations of 2-3000 stars over 30 years. Edinburgh observations for 1841 published.
Received JH's note of 8 [Aug 1847] and went immediately to Smith, Elder & Co., but no copies [of JH's Cape Results] were ready. Will gladly transmit them to recipients designated by JH.
