Description

Slipher thanks Hubble for sending him the draft of his paper on nebulae rotation and describes how he left some notes in soft pencil that Hubble could erase. He then describes a few of the suggested edits before suggesting that astronomers will not always agree, even with their earlier selves, and offers a personal experience on the issue.
