Abstract	Antonio Aguilar expresses satisfaction with the progress of preparations for the upcoming eclipse. He mentions the selected observation site, the Desierto de las Palmas, and the convenience of its location near a Carmelite monastery. Aguilar emphasizes the importance of finding shelter not only for the instruments but also for the observers due to the intense heat. He agrees to Angelo Secchi's offer of a Cauchoix telescope and pledges to cover transportation costs. Additionally, he discusses the difficulty of maintaining a uniform intensity in smoked glass for solar observations and expresses interest in acquiring such glass from Secchi.
