| Title | Note upon his marriage, by John Herschel |
| Creator | Herschel; John (1837-1921); British army officer and astronomer |
| Date | 2 January [1872] |
| Description | A brief summary of Herschel's marriage to Mary Cornwallis Herschel [née Power], including their periods of separation as Herschel was in camp employed in work for the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India. The bulk of the note is dedicated to a misunderstanding of the word 'twynned', used by Herschel in one of his letters, leading to a mild rift between them. |
