From A. Williams, Esq.
Clarence Lodge, Grafton Street, Brighton,
August, 1880.
Dear Sir,—I had intended writing to you to express my pleasure in my 5-1/4 in. telescope nearly a month ago, but thought I would have another look first, and the more I look the more I am pleased with it. I cannot now imagine anyone preferring a 3-1/4 in. refractor to one of these. I have had no trouble at all with the adjustments, and if was to get out of adjustment, it could be rectified in about five minutes. Notwithstanding the unsettled weather (giving on an average only about one fine night in eight), I have examined nearly two hundred double stars in the last three months, some of them very difficult. I enclose a list of a few, which will show very well the capabilities of the instrument.
Yours truly,
(Signed.)
Mr. G. Calver.
