CreatorHerschel; John (1837-1921); British army officer and astronomer
Date20 April [1872]
DescriptionHe requests that she should not write any more. He has finished at his current station and the weather looks settled enough to allow him to start on the 27th or perhaps the 26th. If she writes, he gives railway stations where he will stop the night. and Mary may address him there, care of the station master. He gives a list of the route and times, noting that she might also send word via the post office at Raichore. He will telegraph when he starts his journey and she will have letters daily until the last. He assumes she is at Bangalore, which tomorrow's post should confirm. He copies a humorous verse for her and sends more on Tichborne.
