Flamsteed House, Greenwich - Has any application been made by the Observatory Syndicate for any portion of the proceeds of the Sheepshanks Fund? [For background see GA to WW, 30 Sept. 1856]. WW should keep GA informed of his eclipse plans since there is a heavy duty to pay at the Spanish border on instruments. GA will try to find a solution: 'What is likely to be your geographical course?' Wilfred Airy is about 'to learn the management of iron malleable and weldable' in the smithery, 'and of the men who inflict those operations upon the metal'.
