Excited about brilliant aurora in Toronto and the possibility of comparing magnetic data from observatories in North America, Europe, and St. Helena.
Has been busy with geodetic work. Pulkowa instruments are excellent. [F. W.] Struve has sent zenith distances of Ursa Majores. [G. von] Reichenbach's death dealt blow to precision of Munich instruments.
