Until this time I had said nothing to anyone at the Observatory of my search for a satellite of Mars, but on leaving the observatory after these observations of the 16th, at about three o'clock in the morning, I told my assistant, George Anderson, to whom I had shown the object, that I thought I had discovered a satellite of Mars.
Até ese momento non lle dixera nada a ninguén do observatorio sobre as miñas pescudas do satélite de Marte, mais en deixando o observatorio despois destas observacións do 16, sobre as tres da mañá, conteillo ao meu asistente, George Anderson, a quen xa lle ensinara o obxecto, que cría ter descuberto un satélite de Marte.
