Dear Solo,

I am extremely sorry that you have had to go to so much trouble. Lowe sent a note to you, as he told me recently, but the notice obviously went astray. Perhaps the old carrier pigeon confused your address with another.

It is hard for me to pass on the corrections since I do not know the context. This might be it:

“…that electrostatics correctly accounts for electrical effects only when the electrical masses are at rest with respect to a system of inertia.”

As for the first passage mentioned by you, it is even more difficult for me to decide. In speaking of geometry, “content” or “capacity” are more correct than “origin,” for the reference is not to the history but to the nature of the thing, which is independent of time.

My sincere apologies for the regrettable mistake. Let us know soon that everything is again in order.

My very best to both of you.

Your

A. E.
