On the publication of Scheiner's letters, Velser transmitted a copy of them to his friend Galileo, with the request that he would favour him with his opinion of the new phenomena. After some delay, Galileo addressed three letters to Velser, in which he combated the opinions of Scheiner on the cause of the spots.
Light flying clouds happened, at the time, to weaken the intensity of his light, so that he was able to show the spots to his pupils. These observations were not published till January 1612; and they appeared in the form of three letters, addressed to Mark Velser, one of the magistrates of Augsburg, under the signature of Appelles post Tabulam.
In the last of the letters which our author addressed to Velser, and which was written in December 1612, he recurs to his former discovery of the elongated shape, or rather the triple structure, of Saturn.

In his middle manhood, judging from the photos, he had a hirsute, kindly look, but very far removed from the finely cut traditional poet's face. I have often heard Whitman say that he inherited most excellent blood from his mother, the old Dutch Van Velser strain, Long Island blood filtered and vitalized through generations by the breath of the sea. He was his mother's child unmistakably.
He was charged with maintaining the motion of the earth, and the stability of the sun with teaching this doctrine to his pupils with corresponding on the subject with several German mathematicians and with having published it, and attempted to reconcile it to Scripture, in his letters to Mark Velser in 1612.
The singular figure which he had observed in this planet had entirely disappeared; and he evidently announces the fact to Velser, lest it should be used by his enemies to discredit the accuracy of his observations.
