Asks whether JSH can send specimens of some of the rarer plants found in the Cambridge region. Invites him to Edinburgh and offers access to duplicates.
Discusses JSH’s description of the leaves of Malaxis paludosa and states that he made the same description at an earlier date but did not publish it. Casts doubt on the observation that they are parasitic.
Requests British specimens of Malaxis paludosa and offers JSH a Swiss specimen.
Latest news of his machine. His book is going to press in 10 days. Would like proofsheet of last sheet of JH's 'Sound.'
Regarding his forthcoming pamphlet and his attitudes to scientific societies. Sent him the wrong page of 'Sound.' Has just returned from Leicestershire. David Brewster sent a problem.
Regarding his projected biography of Dr. Thomas Young. His own book on the decline of science is in the press. Regarding the life and manners of Dr. Young.
Further remarks on Dr. Thomas Young and JH's projected biography. Has had a copy of a letter from J. F. Encke about an Astronomical Ephemeris for the Society for Promoting Useful Knowledge.
CD has passed his "Little Go".
Sending a letter he has received, and would like JH's opinion on it [probably about his telescope; see P. Barlow's 1830-3-14].
Asks help in summarizing scientific labors of her late husband, Thomas Young, for memoir by Hudson Gurney. [Addressed to 'William Herschale, Esqr.']
Informing JH that he and GA have just been appointed to a committee to consider the extension of the Astronomical Society's catalogue. Observations on this catalogue.
Has never seen the fair copy of William Herschel's polishing book. Will be pleased to assist Wilhelm Struve regarding the Standards. Will ask George Everest to call on him and discuss the Indian operations. How did Herschel perfect the adjustment of his object glass? Has been experimenting with the Josef Fraunhofer spots.

Thanks JH for criticisms of her manuscript. Will outline principles more carefully. Hopes Lady Herschel is 'gaining strength.'
