The Best Thing That Could Have Happened
Arthur S. Eddington to Einstein, 1 December 1919, facsimile

The final results of the British eclipse expedition are announced at a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society on 6 November 1919. After their plan to meet each other in Leiden falls through, Eddington informs Einstein by letter about the enthusiastic response in England. He writes: It is the best possible thing that could have happened for scientific relations between England and Germany.
