Herschel too busy to write account of Neptune controversy. An account from JCA published by the Society would carry weight, but if he cannot or will not write it he should not worry. Still waiting for abstract of Breen's paper. Has some good observations from [Hartnup] Liverpool [of Satellites of Neptune and/or Uranus?]

JCA to ensure he is at the meeting of the Council of the RAS, or if not that he sends his apologies. Sorry that JCA could not come to the anniversary: RS made an excuse for him.

Social. Carrington of Durham has enquired whether the RAS intend to collect and print notices of the solar eclipse; JCA asked to give reply as President of the RAS, in lieu of meeting of Council.

Request to return paper for publication by RAS promptly. Comments on Markree Metis Observations in current Monthly Notices. Keeping observations [CO?] for publication as a supplement to the Monthly Notices. Had sent best regards to JC via JCA.

English Observations to be omitted from next Monthly Notices of RAS on account of space. Report of [CO] Syndicate would benefit from additions. Encouraging Hartnup in meridian observations, especially planets and comets. Would like to see JCA in a University post; suggests Lowndean Professorship. Will be ready to print [on Neptune] in mid September: requires JC to provide observations.
