Royal Observatory Greenwich - GA invites WW to dine at 'our visitation Dinner on Saturday June 3 at the Crown & Sceptre'. He also sends copies of papers on the London, Southampton and Norwich tides: 'The great difference in the general phenomena of the Southampton and Norwich tides, and the small difference in the mathematical formulae which represent them, appear to me very remarkable. I cannot at present explain them'. He has not received all his Irish tide observations: 'Till I have received all, I cannot set the reductions regularly a-going, because for certain matters all are to be combined. But I can see, in the tables already drawn out, some curious things'.
