JH is busy correcting first proofs of pages on double stars. Thanks for binding JH's star [allineations?]. CP's suggestion [see CP's 1867-3-27] to JH's son Alexander, to collect and edit William Herschel's papers, entails too much work for one editor. JH dreads thought of such work. Doubts CP's claim that WH observed fixed star in Corona.
