Further regarding his dispute with Isaac Newton's theory on the moon.
Will now work with S. J. A. Compton, the President of the R.S.L., to try to get fair treatment for another applicant for the Admiralty money [see GA's 1848-9-25].
Further clarification to the moon's motions [see JH's 1848-10-25].
Regarding the moon's orbit.
Further clarification to JH's 1848-10-26.
Thanks GA for the time and trouble he took in the drawn-out debate over the moon's motions [see 1848-9-25 to 1848-10-26].
Thanks GA for his letter [see GA's 1848-11-27] and brings the whole episode to a close.
