Evershed, JohnThe letter was a appreciation for John Evershed discovery of spectral shift of light from the edge of the solar disc is really double of Einsteins's value. He mentioned about failure of Einstein's relativity. Further he provided 6 points on Newtonian principles, equation for the motion of a light, spectral shift of light.
Evershed, JohnThe letter is from the Director General of stores to Charles Michie Smith regarding volumes of the mural circle and transit observations. It consists of a copy letter from the Royal Astronomical Society and a list of 6 folio volumes presented to the Royal Astronomical Society.
