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.
A notice of meeting of the Standards Committee, together with an indication of business to be conducted at that meeting.
Changes the date of a Board of Visitors' meeting and urges JH to be there.
Will try to attend meeting called by GA, although JH is plagued by rheumatism; comments on the periods of Saturn's satellites.
Regarding glass for the telescope for the Cape Town Observatory?
