| Title | Letter from John Herschel, to [Mary Cornwallis Herschel] |
| Creator | Herschel; John (1837-1921); British army officer and astronomer |
| Date | 30 January 1872 |
| Description | He has nothing for her, and writes a comical letter as if she were joining him on a horseback ride to Rogers' camp. After receiving her letter of 25th at 3.00am, he says he is astonished at Mary's Ootacamund trip and hopes she can write about it, wanting a photograph. He notes the failure of Australian observations. In a postscript, he writes that he wants an epithet into which he might concentrate a great deal of love. |
