            The 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, John

            The letter discusses on comparison on graphs that gives the difference between the shift of line at the various points, and the shift at the centre to be compared with his formula. At the backside of this letter S. M. Sulaiman's handwritten explained the formula.

            Part of Compilation of Pogson's observations and drawing

            This item was about total solar eclipse of 18th August 1868. At Masulipatnam Pogson detected the hydrogen line emission, with a spectroscope. He saw a bright yellow line near the position of D lines of Sodium. The line originated from hitherto unknown element later termed as helium after the source of earliest detection. Hand coloured sketch of the solar spectrum during the Total Solar Eclipse of 1868. Hand coloured picture of the sun before and after the total solar eclipse 1868.
