DescriptionPraising the work of [William Michael Herbert] Greaves at the Royal Observatory, despite the short time he was there. Dyson has been looking at a short paper that Greaves and [Charles Rundle] Davidson have written for the R.A.S. [Royal Astronomical Society] about the possible effect of dispersion on parallax work. Dyson does not know about his mathermatics, but Greaves seemed 'a very keen and intelligent man who took a thorough delight in his work'.
