Asks again about Wilhelm Struve calculation in 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.
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.
Unable to find the calculation of Wilhelm Struve about which IT inquired. Will investigate the matter further.
