Dear Sir,
I send you annexed an extract of a Lr I have this morning received from Dr Hussey. 1 I have no instruments & never sit up to observe so that I have not seen the comet. 2
I am very glad to hear that you have set to work seriously about your paper 3 for the Royal Society & I trust it will be finished so that it can be read at the first meeting.
Dr Lehrman [sic] 4 has in addition to Damoiseau, Pont' coulant & Rosenberger 5 determined the perturbation of the comet & arrives at very different results. According to him the comet will traverse the little bear.
Yours very truly
John Lubbock
