In the absence of the Astronomer Royal2, Mr Main presents his compliments to Mr Farraday3, and begs to inform him that persons introduced to the Astronomer Royal as possessing scientific acquirements are permitted to see the Observatory, and that the time of admission is limited to the business hours of the Observatory, which are included between 9 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon of every day excepting Sundays. A note of introduction from Mr Farraday would be sufficient guarantee of his friend's eligibility for admission.
Royal Observatory, Greenwich, | 1840 June 25.
