| Title | Letter from C [Charles] Pritchard, Pawley's Hotel, Sevenoaks, to Sir John [Frederick William Herschel] |
| Creator | Pritchard; Charles (1808-1893); British astronomer |
| Date | 11 July [no year, 1859? wm 1855] |
| Description | He encloses a note received from Mr [Barthlomew] Price, whom he assumes Herschel knows. He thinks that Herschel will have all the information required and if the examination papers are a guide, the winning candidate [for a Magdalene Fellowship] would gain success by bookwork. Alic [Alexander Stewart Herschel] would lose nothing by a trial and Pritchard gives a formula for success. Pritchard is staying for a week with Mrs Pritchard and his three girls at the Crown Hotel Sevenoaks and he hopes to get as far as Collingwood to shake hands with Lady Herschel. In a postscript, he states that his son Charles [Bradley Pritchard] is doing well at Belgaum [Belgavi]. |
