From H. Blyth, Esq.
Regent Road, Great Yarmouth,
October 24th, 1874.
Dear Sir,—Doubtless you have anticipated hearing from me, relative to the 10 inch telescope, but the weather has been so indifferent for delicate astronomical work, that it has not yet had a fair trial.
In middling good air, when I could use a reduced aperture with satisfactory results, the star images reminded me of the 6-1/2 inch, which I considered so superb a mirror that nothing could surpass its fine performance either on stars or planets.
With the recollections of the truly splendid views I had of Jupiter last season, I count much to see him with the 10 inch.
Yours truly,
(Signed.)
