Clouds hindered us from obfervlng the beginning 
of the eclipfe of the Sun j but I obferved the end of 
the eclipfe, at lo^ 4' 53" apparent time, with an 
achromatic telefcope of Dollond, of 10 feet, magni- 
fying 96 times j the fame telefcope which I ufed in 
obferving the tranfit of Venus. The difference of 
meridians between Stockholm and Upfal is 1' 40" of 
time.

with the greateft friendfhip and efteem. 
Sir, 
Your mod obedient, 
humble fervant,
