On 17 August between one and two o'clock, while I was reducing my observations, Professor Newcomb came into my room to eat his lunch and I showed him my measures of the faint object near Mars which proved that it was moving with the planet.
O 17 de agosto entre a unha e as dúas, cando eu estaba reducindo as miñas observacións, o Profesor Newcomb achegouse ao meu cuarto a xantar e ensineille as miñas medicións do obxecto próximo a Marte, que probaban que se estaba movendo canda o planeta.
