Since WW will be at Manchester for the British Association meeting, JH sends him a letter he recieved from Schumacher [Heinrich F. Schumacher] indicating the delicate state of Bessel's health. Consequently he will have to be sheltered from the enthusiasm of those attending the meeting. JH had not intended to attend but since George Airy and Francis Baily are both abroad he shall come on Bessel's account for a day. He will then take him back to to the quiet of his home in Hawkhurst.
