| Title | Letter, from John William Lubbock to Sir John Herschel |
| Creator | Lubbock; Sir; John William; third baronet (1803-1865); British astronomer and banker |
| Recipient | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 13 February 1845 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Much obliged for John Frederick William Herschel calling but regrets he was out. The question [on steam] they have been discussing seems to be answered by a paper by a Prof. Karl Holtzmann he has just come across; comments on this. If John Frederick William Herschel is coming to S. J. A. Compton's (2nd Marquis of Northampton) soiree will he come and dine at St. James' Place? |
