Thanks for HB's Familiar Astronomy. Praises it as a good introduction to astronomy.
Sending him a copy of her Familiar Astronomy and inviting his comments on this work. His works are well known in America.
Sent him a few months ago a copy of her book Familiar Astronomy. Wonders if it has miscarried as she has heard nothing.
Thanks for his favorable comments on her book. Sends proof sheets as part of her forthcoming book on authors.
