An Afterglow


LOWELL OBSERVATORY
FLAGSTAFF


Great pleasure your two letters just received have given me: one with just the news I wanted and the other with that gorgeously attired "jack." I was delighted by the one and touched by the other.

Prof. Willson is going especially in to see you, as I think I wrote you; probably he has already told you.

As a slight return to you I enclose you pictures of snow and clouds from Mars' Hill. We are sending Prof. Very today the latest spectograms of Mars and the Moon for measurement of water-vapor and oxygen. Also I am starting Mr. Lampland on photographs of Saturn and his satellites to show to all eyes the latter's variability.

More anon.
