Keen to have JCA's corrections to the sections of the Tidal Committee's report on equilibrium theoretical tidal constituents. Newcomb has been in correspondence about irregularities in earth's rotation, and periodic change of latitude in 365 days period. Wishes for JCA's opinion on Newcomb's work on irregularities in the Moon's mean motion.
