TitleLetter from F H [Francisca Herschel], to 'Dearest Willy' [Sir William James Herschel]
CreatorHerschel; Francisca (1846-1932); British
Date18 December 1909
DescriptionBy Alfred's request they forward his letter. As a result she got out of the tin box of her father's letters the two he referred to. Julie has copied them, one passage from Jeffreys and the whole of Parsons'. The latter is interesting and she thinks she may look through other biographical bundles. She quotes from her father's diaries and gives remarks on them.
