| Title | Letter from J A [Joseph Alfred] Hardcastle, The Dial House, Crowthorne, Berkshire, to 'Dear Uncle Willie' [Sir William James Herschel] |
| Creator | Hardcastle; Joseph Alfred (1868-1917); British astronomer |
| Date | 26 March 1910 |
| Description | He is glad that his uncle found the Halley slides useful. He thinks he copied the one with planet positions from Crommelin, who has often mentioned the comet crossing Jupiter's orbit. Jupiter is not on that slide and therefore he gives some further information. Hardcastle relates the outcomes of a meeting of the committee for the W H [William Herschel] papers and he must report on how much there is in pages to be printed. There was interest expressed in autobiography and he asks to see any relevant notes for the next meeting. In a postscript, he gives arrangements in case John [Herschel] is with William. |
