| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Thanks for the interesting account of the star whose variability has now been established. Used the 3 1/2 foot last night and definition was good. Returns John Frederick William Herschel's letter to [James?] Dunlop and thinks there should be no offense taken. Opening for the Zenith is being enlarged. Measured John Frederick William Herschel's azimuth East and West yesterday. |
