As regards to addition on the subject, I just obtained the equations of the expanding universe by a new method which makes clear the influence of the condensations and the possible causes of the expansion. I would be very glad to have them presented to your society as a separate paper.

I would like very much to become a fellow of your society and would appreciate to be presented by Prof. Eddington and you.

If Prof. Eddington has yet a reprint of his May paper in M.N. I would be very glad to receive it.

Will you be kind enough to present my best regards to professor Eddington.

This clearly puts to bed all the speculations about who translated the paper and who deleted the paragraphs: Lemaître himself did both!
