| Creator | Herschel; Sir William James; second baronet (1833-1917); British developer of fingerprinting and judge |
| Date | 29 October 1873 |
| Description | He thanks them for a warming present, saving him from 'a shiver that I quite dread sometimes & have to overcome'. Selina will bring word about the cart. Mrs Hardcastle was pleased with her drive and is more cheerful. There is a further letter from John [Herschel] entering into the idea of exploring the manuscripts. She should keep it until William comes at two tomorrow. |
