Autograph letter signed to J.C. Adams

Forwarding offer by Nautical Almanac to print paper [on Neptune] as a supplement. Advises to accept; should contact W.S. Stratford. Criticises Adams's over modesty, and bad advice of his friends as cause of difficulties over Neptune. Wishes to obtain best justice for him that he can.
