An exam of the above plates shows a variation of about 4.6 magn. Estimated limits 10.7 to 15.3. For var 1. The adjacent star shows slight evidence of change which, though small, seems to be real. 11.9 to 12.5 variability of [[strikethrough]]No.[[/strikethrough]]v1, confirmed by L.D. Wells. W.P.F. March 6, 1908.
In v2, Miss Wells sees slight change. Oct. 30, 1908. [[math equation]]
