Letter addressed to Madame Bassot, 15 rue Tronchet, Paris. The letter is dated at St.
Augustine, 6 December 1882 and is one page. It is written on letterhead of the Institut
de France Academie Des Sciences Passage de Vénus 1882. He writes that the transit took
place today and we observed it completely. Everything has gone wonderfully well and he
thinks the observations will be very good. The sky was covered just half an hour after the
last contact. They saw everything but almost missed the last part of the passage. Perrier
is ecstatic.
