Dear Mr. Calver,—Weather and circumstances have been very unfavourable for doing much work with the 10 inch reflector since I got it from you. But with what I have seen with it I am very pleased; in good weather the views of the planets, Jupiter and his “Great Red Spot” especially, were grand. The mounting (equatorial) is quite satisfactory, and the movements work smoothly and well.
Yours very truly,
(Signed.)
