G. E. Lumsden Esq.:

Dear Sir,—

Accept thanks for your favor of May 27, with the first annual Report. On p. 29, I notice what I suppose to be a typographical error.

On the 8th l. from the bottom for for Jupiter read Neptune, and on the 5th l. from bottom for axis read axial. It is not important, hoever, and need scarcely be noticed.

With much interest in the Society, I remain

Yours very truly

Daniel Kirkwood.

Sternwarte Bothkamp Holstein

1893 Märr 31.

Dear Sir,

I received your letter of the 14th with the two attempts you made in vain.

Bothkamp not beeing a post office station it seems not to bee striking that your kind efforts provided only with the supplement of, Germany — did not succeed.

In Holstein this observatory is known by any one.

My antecessor, unfortunately, have not secured a stock of the Bothkamp publications and so there is but one complete copy of the 3 volumes in our library.
