Asks again about Wilhelm Struve calculation in Outlines Astr.
Cannot find the source of supposed Wilhelm Struve probability calculation; believes he has made a mistake. Regrets the error was not noticed in time to correct the seventh edition of Outlines Astr.
Printing History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability. Inquires about a probability calculation of Wilhelm Struve's in JH's Outlines Astr.
Thanks JH for looking into the Wilhelm Struve probability calculation; makes note of the change in his work.
Unable to find the calculation of Wilhelm Struve about which IT inquired. Will investigate the matter further.
