Percival Lowell
LOWELL OBSERVATORY
FLAGSTAFF
Thank you for the photographs. They are capital!
I gave Sheckels his at once and he was tickled with it and was going to mount it immediately. One you took of him—near the cedars—is excellent and very flattering.
I leave here on the morning of the 12th.
We have been making some good observations and measures of Uranus. His oblateness is most manifest. Did I tell you that Prof. Fox has written me expressing his delight at his visit and asking me to entertain his University Club on Saturday night the 14th Nov.? I have accepted and shall leave Chicago Sunday, arriving in New York Monday morning and probably Tuesday at 6 P. M. reach Boston.
Mr. Gill who left here Thursday expressed a wish to be present, at which I was pleased.
