| Title | Copy letter, from James David Forbes to Sir John Herschel, dated at Greenhill, Edinburgh |
| Creator | James David Forbes |
| Date | 26 May 1832 |
| Description | Copy letter in John Herschel's hand. Is grateful for John Frederick William Herschel's letter and offer of assistance. Will come to London earlier than expected so that he can call on him and discuss his problems before foreign travel. Would be glad of an introduction to Mario Gemmellaro and other scientists John Frederick William Herschel thinks would help him in his studies. |
