TxU:H/M-0546.9; Reel 1093

Reports that the RAS has an available balance of £77. He calculates that to complete the printing of J. J. L. Lalande's Catalogue of Those Stars in the Histoire céleste française... and N. L. Lacaille's Catalogue of 9766 Stars in the Southern Hemisphere, however, will require £83 pounds; WS hopes to cut costs so that they do not overspend their grant.
