Francis Baily

Giovanni Antonio Amedeo Plana

Autograph letter signed by sender. Is pleased to hear he has named a member of the Astronomical Society. Is unable to send a memor at this time as he is currently occupied with a treatise on the moon. Carlini and Plana hope to publish the first volume before the end of the year, and would like to 'fix precise laws of this satellite of our globe'.
