Dear Sir

I thank you for your comprehensive and most suggestive "Mans Place in the Universe" in the fortnightly this month. In page 399 — Concentric Spheres — you say "that if these were infinite we sh[oul]d receive an infinite amount of light". If it were the case that we get no light [2] from stars invisible thus' distance — so that their light reaching us only after immature[?] periods of time' must affect us very gradually — I hope I am wrong ; and as a clergyman I thank you again for ^your testimony from Nature this new astronomy to the truth that man always has been "the apple of the Divine Eye". Ps. 17-8.

Yours with admiration | Reverend G. L. Foulkes [signature]
