I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your letter dated the 3rd inst., in which You inform me it is the intention of the Earl of Derby, that I should spend two months at the Kew Observatory, immediately after leaving the Royal Observatory.

2. In reference to the appointment of the Assistant, I had the honour to be informed by You in a letter dated the 13th inst., that You had not yet received a reply from the War Office. It would, if possible, be desirable that this appointment should be filled not later than the beginning of May next, and I venture to suggest that You inform me whether the pension connected with this post is fixed according to the same terms as my own appointment.
