| Title | Letter from William James Herschel, Kishnagar [Krishnangar], to 'Dearest Mother' [Margaret Brodie Herschel] |
| Creator | Herschel; Sir William James; second baronet (1833-1917); British developer of fingerprinting and judge |
| Date | 16 October 1871 |
| Description | He refers to sad news of 'Uncle D' and says that he has not heard from Stewart, and had no idea he was in England. He comments upon Stewart's character. The enclosure [HSF/3/19/7] will explain his future, which is a relief to them. There is an error in the letter [from the Lieutenant Governor] which he may correct verbally. The news of Alick's [Alexander Stewart Herschel's] health and spirits is good. |
