1. Letter to C. A. F. Peters 31 July 1862, Code 29.16
Washington, US
Dear Sir, I observe that there is still a disposition to indulge in
foolish speculation respecting the inequalities in the distribution of the
nodes and perihelia of the asteroids 1.1 . I therefore enclose you an
article on the subject for the Astron. Nach. [1862].
I beg that you will excuse my not making you a neater copy, as I am
about to have taken [a new work?], and have not time to spare. Where
it can be done without losing space I should prefer to see the separate
tables placed one below another, in column extending but half way
across the page, instead of extending them from left to right across the
entire page, as I have done, to save paper.
It may be unnecessary to print the figure. A mathematician will not
need it. At any rate, a wood cut in the printed page will be all that will
be necessary 1.2 .
Very truly Yours Simon Newcomb
Herr Dr C. A. F. Peters, Editor of the Astron. Nachrichten, Altona
2. Letter to [F. A. T.] Winnecke 7 Aug. 1871, Code 1826-29
Washington
My Dear Doctor, You remember I failed to get your photograph in
Berlin. I have a very good album of European astronomers, but it will
not be complete without your face. Will you not do me the favor to
forward it: – you see I tender you payment in advance.
I hope the Vierteljahrsschrift [Vierteljahresschrift der astron. Ges.]
is flourishing. If you are hard worked, and want to laugh, read Proctor
on the Sun [1871], Chapter 1.
Your very truly Simon Newcomb
Herr Dr Winnecke
3. Letter to unknown person 1 Aug. 1876, Code 20.237
Washington
Dear Sir: I am about to bring out a work on astronomy in which I
am desirous to embody a brief statement of the views respecting the
physical constitution of the sun entertained by the most eminent
students of solar physics at the present time. I am especially desirous
of including your opinions in this list; I should therefore esteem it a
great favor should you think proper to communicate them to me at
your earliest convenience.
