| Title | Letter, from Basil Hall to Sir John Herschel, dated at Paris |
| Creator | Hall; Basil (1788-1844); British naval officer and author |
| Recipient | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 11 March 1836 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Encloses a queer pamphlet, which may amuse him, but it has put D. F. J. Arago and others into a towering passion. The public tends to forget one's existence if too long away from London, so hopes that John Frederick William Herschel will bear this in mind. |
