| Recipient | John Frederick William Herschel |

| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Received the print of John Frederick William Herschel with great pleasure. The picture by H. W. Pickersgill seems a truthful likeness. The bulbs have been planted and are thriving. Has just returned from the continent, where he visited Caroline Herschel, who is still well in mind, but weak in body. Church building progresses at Slough. |
