Astro. & Phys. Soc. of Toronto:

      My dear Sir,—

            Absence from home prevented my sooner answering your kind letter of Oct. 11th. I have just returned, and it will be impossible now to prepare a paper for publication as you kindly suggest.

      With many thanks for your kindness,
      I remain
            Yours faithfully

To the Astr. + Phys. Soc. of Toronto.

My Friends:

Please accpt a late No. of the Astron. + Astro-Phys. for Nov., containing a paper of my own. I have frequent communications from Kind friends in Toronto, but poor health—paralysis—compels me to neglect correspondents.

I have the honor to remain your obdt. servt.

Daniel Kirkwood.
