William Harkness Letter to Capt. C. H. N. Davis at U.S. Naval Observatory, Dated Jersey City, N.J., 15 January 1901
Letter from William Harkness to Capt. C. H. N. Davis at U.S. Naval Observatory, regarding a recent article in Science magazine and the annual report of the Astronomical director dated August 13, 1900. Both of the latter publications evidently recommended core changes to the programs and mission of USNO, to which Harkness strongly disagreed. Believing the source of the Science article to be Simon Newcomb, and noting similar opinions previously published by S. J. Brown (then Astronomical Director), Harkness is severely critical of both men. (For more context and detail of this letter, see Sky and Ocean Joined, p. 331).
