1 О. Б. Шейнин Статьи по истории теории ... - Sheynin, Oscar

Dear Sir: – I regret that I have been so negligent in acknowledging a
number of marks of attention which I have received from you, and
which I assure you that I appreciated. Among the late ones is the
invitation to the Association of Physicians and Naturalists, a body
whose meetings I should like much to attend. I had hoped to go abroad
this year, but have been prevented by lameness. There is now little
prospect of my doing so for two years. Your University will always be
held in grateful esteem for the high honor which I received there in
1886.
The frequency with which I receive such applications as those of Dr.
Mandl would suggest that it would be quite easy for an American
graduate to secure a position as Professor Extraordinarius in the
German Universities by sending over the proper testimonials. If such
is the case, I wish it could be more widely known that the reverse is

Dear Sir: I desire to propose for membership in the Astronomische
Gesellschaft – Professor H. H. Turner University Observatory Oxford,
England who has expressed to me his readiness to accept membership.
But, from what was said on the last occasion when I proposed a new
member, I may infer that you want some sort of an expression from the
applicator [applicant] himself. If this be so, I shall be much pleased to
receive from you a statement of exactly what is required. I expect to be
here during the next two weeks (till June 1) and to attend the meeting
of the Gesellschaft at Göttingen August 5 – 7.
Very respectively Simon Newcomb
