EDWARD EVERETT TO PROFESSOR SCHUMACHER, AT ALTONA.
"Cambridge, 15th January, 1848.
"DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 27th October, accompanying the 'Planeten-Circulaer,' reached me but a few days since.

If you would be so good as to forward to the care of John Miller, Esq., 26 Henrietta street, Covent Garden, London, any letter you may do me the favor to write to me, it would reach me promptly.
"The regulations relative to the king of Denmark's medal have not hitherto been understood in this country.

I shall take care to give publicity to them.

Not only has Mr.Bond lost the medal to which you think he would have been entitled, [Footnote: Mr.Schumacher had remarked to me, in his letter of the 27th of October, that Mr.George P.
Bond would have received the medal for the comet first seen by him as a nebulous object on the 18th of February, 1846, if his observation made at that time had been communicated, according to the regulations, to the trustees of the medal.] but I fear the same has happened to Miss Mitchell, of Nantucket, who discovered the comet of last October on the first day of that month.

I think it was not seen in Europe till the third.
"I remain, dear sir, with great respect, faithfully yours, "EDWARD EVERETT." * * * * * HON.
