Autograph letter signed to J.C. Adams

Sends paper of Lubbock's for JCA to write abstract. Rest of next issue of Monthly Notices of RAS gone to press. Will send Lassell's observations [of satellites of Uranus?] when he has a proof. Has asked Liverpool Observatory to ask them [Hartnup] to look at the 4th satellite of Uranus for JCA.

JCA's note on Lubbock much welcomed by Herschel and used for speech. Encouragement to continue work on the planetary theory. Congratulations on coaching a Senior Wrangler.
