Der amerikanische Astrophysiker Lewis Morris Rutherfurd gilt als Pionier der Himmelsphotographie. Für seine Studien experimentierte er mit verschiedenen Instrumenten, wie zum Beispiel einem speziellen Teleskop, das er für Astrophotographien brauchte: "Ab 1858 verwendete der Amerikaner Rutherford ein äquatoriales Fernrohr zusammen mit einem achromatischen Objektiv, um seine 'Rutherford-Monde' fotografieren zu können. Damit bezeichnete er Aufnahmen, die die Oberfläche des Mondes detailliert und mit deutlicher Abbildung der Schatten zeigten. Diese Aufnahmen wurden der Société française de la photographie nach 1865 und der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Paris im Jahr 1872 vorgestellt. Sie bedeuteten einen grossen Schritt im Studium der Geologie der Sterne und wurden deshalb in der Folgezeit oft reproduziert... Der Mond, der für den Menschen nur durch die Bestrahlung der Sonne sichtbar ist, konnte jetzt in einem Buch mit blossem Auge ebenso scharf und wirklichkeitsgetreu wie durch ein Fernrohr beobachtet werden." (Frizot 1998, S. 278).

My chief business there was to speak to Mr. Dwight and some of the tutors who have promised to do everything in their power to serve him...I am not very well. I believe it is a bad cold but I hope to get over it. I have no fever but you know how a man feels with a bad cold... was surprised to hear of Mr. Cox's application to you for money. I think you need not fear for any suit as you never became Jacob's security...Jacob [Jacob Morris (1755-1844) the second son of the Signer] made the same request of me. I told him if I had money he should have it, but that I never would put my hand and seal to any instrument for John Cox...Daniel is a fine boy and he is deserving of every attention of all his friends...the farmers in this county have lost as vast amount of hay from the great floods of this summer. I have been in among the rest but have got a fine parcel of salt hay and in good season...God bless you and believe me your affectionate father and friend." In very good condition, with intersecting folds passing through the signature, a tape repair to an area of fold splitting on the second page, and writing showing through from opposing sides.A fine, warm letter from the New York Signer.
