TitleLetter from W H Dines at Benson Observatory, Wallingford to Lewis Dines
Date26 June 1919
DescriptionDiscussing the odd problem of the small number of gales and reasons for this; the temperature which is also a mystery; unable to find the 1917 summary because he is so hard up for room for papers and books and there is no place to put copies of reports and periodicals, suggests a card to 'the M.O. will get him the information'.

His leg is better probaly because it has been coler, but he cannot depend upon using it freely yet. They hope to come to see him before the winter, but no definite date as his leg does not make the idea of travelling pleasant, and there is the problem of providing for Dots as it is too expensive to bring him and too much for Lewis if they are all together.

Has further suggestions for his temperature with regard to the effect of the outbuildings and absence of wind.

Postscript; It is cooler but they are very hard up for rain.
