Autograph letter signed to J.C. Adams

Thanks for note of 18th. Mentioned J.C.A.'s lack of response to query in the published correspondence only because it was already public and seemed necessary to the full account. Makes suggestion for further table to accompany memoir of perturbations of Uranus.
