Encloses copy of a paper for JH's comments. Regarding reviews of GA's paper on 'Tides.'
Recommends buying optics for 7.5-inch telescope from Metz and Mahlers in Munich and having those mounted in London.
Urges doubling number of lunar observations.
Would support improvements, both in number and quality, of lunar observations at the Royal Observatory; current practices produce unacceptably large predictive errors.
