Has more or less finished his Lunar Theory; now at printers. Thanks J.C.A for agreeing to take charge if necessary. Possibility of needing him much diminished but not passed away.

Has received review of his Lunar Distance paper by G.D.E. Weyer of Kiel, pointing out the method already published by Legendre 75 years ago. Regrets that this knowledge would have saved the work of constructing the Cambridge Tables.
