Has just dispatched to Hawkhurst station a positive copy in glass of a photograph of the moon. Has many photographs but this is the best one. Has constructed a reflecting stereoscope. Angelo Secchi visited him but the weather was not suitable for observations.
Thanks for the lunar photographs; comments on other observations.
Is pleased the photograph arrived safely. Would be pleased to show him his collection of original negatives. Comments on the difficulties of using a telescope with a longer focus. Regarding improvements to the photoheliography at Kew. Encloses sketch of the comet.
Has now had time to examine the stereoscopic photograph of the moon. Thinks it is a wonderful effect and opens up a new field for terrestrial objects.
