An Afterglow
HOTEL CHATHAM
PARIS
Dr. Slipher's discovery occasioning great interest and admiration. Deslandres yesterday, at a lunch he gave me, quite enthusiastically complimentary about the Lowell Ob'y. work. Cela marche, méme ca court.
Thank you I am better and the weather has been absolutely cold; have had to sit in my parlor with my overcoat on. Hardly a too warm hour since I landed in England.
Gale, of comet fame, on his way from his native Australia, New South Wales, to London, was at Deslandres' lunch and wanted information about setting up a solar observatory.
There are fewer foreigners abroad this year than usual another proof of hard times.
