Dear Masatsugu,
Presently, I know that I will be in
During the last months, at Sorbonne
Observatory, we greatly improved the working of the system for rotating the
dome by putting grease in appropriate places. Now, one person can rotate it
completely without having to stop.
Also, we tested a system for observing the
sun by projection. We put a mirror behind the eyepiece and we keep the dome
nearly closed, so that it is dark inside. In that way, we obtain quite precise images
of the sun which are about one meter wide. Are you doing the same at Fukui
Observatory?
With best wishes for the meeting.

© . . . . . . . .Dear Masatsugu, I am sorry I
answer your e-mails so late. I was terribly busy renovating with two workmen
the house I bought recently, and many practical problems made me forget very
important things. Presently, it is only
two days before my departure.
Of course, it is better for me to stay in the
hotel of the Meeting with all of you. I
am also interested in hilltop place for the night of August 4. I guess we are
not supposed to sleep so much that night, but it probably depends on the
weather.
I will probably arrive at Ina from
Yamanashi-shi or Kiso-Fukushima. Train is probably the most convenient solution
for that. Could you tell me the appropriate station and arrival time?
Anyway, I will call you after my arrival in
With best wishes.

I will call you in due time when I am in
Yesterday, I finished reading "Les mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée"
by Simone de Beauvoir. I remember that your wife translated the books which is
concerened with Simone de Beauvoir.
Awaiting to meeting you.
