| Date | 23 November 1900 |
| Description | Thanks Boys for his paper on the gravitational constant. His last week in England was spent on the Isle of Wight and therefore he missed seeing friends. Hopes that Boys might be able to visit America and give some lectures. The Lick Observatory and Leiden have requested that he measure photographs of Eros in order to have a better value for the solar parallax. |
