Dear Sir,

Your letter of the
30th march with enclosure
from Mr. Holly With regard
to the construction of glasses
for telescopes is received.

I read Mr. Hollys letter
with a good deal of interest
ut while I could appreciate
in part the importance of
the objects sought the
merits of his proposal plan
are entirely beyond my
capacity to critique
