"On March 18th 1835 I started (meeting Sheepshanks at Kingstown) for Ireland.

I applied through Sheepshanks for a copy of Maskelyne's Observations, to be used in the Reduction of the Planetary Observations: and on Dec. 24th (from my bedroom)

I was subsequently in correspondence with Sheepshanks on the subject of the Arbitration on South's telescope, and my giving evidence on it.

(I have various letters from Sheepshanks to this purpose.)On

I also furnished Mr Sheepshanks with investigations regarding the form of the pivots of the Cape Circle.

" 1831 "On Jan. 4th I went with my wife, first to Miss Sheepshanks in London, at 30, Woburn Place, and next to the house of my wife's old friend, the Rev. John Courtney, at Sanderstead, near Croydon.
