To add the complex numbers $$(8 + 3i)$$ and $$(-7 + i)$$, follow these steps:

1. **Add the real parts:**
   $$
   8 + (-7) = 1
   $$

2. **Add the imaginary parts:**
   $$
   3i + i = 4i
   $$

3. **Combine the results:**
   $$
   1 + 4i
   $$

So, the sum is $$1 + 4i$$.

$$\boxed{1 + 4i}$$
The sum is $$1 + 4i$$.
