Sends information about where to look for Encke's comet.
Has not had any success in finding comets.
JH is chagrined to note that he forgot to observe the equinox, after having impressed on any and all the need to do so.
Found Encke's Comet the night before last. Has not had a chance to see Halley's Comet. Will JH come to the Observatory? There are no fleas.
