TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to F [Frank] W [Watson] Dyson FRS
Date10 December 1912
Description'In answer to your letter of December 9, we have a number of MSS of F Wollaston's astronomical communications to the Society which may perhaps include those enquired for. I quote from Sir Arthur Church's Manuscript Index the titles of those papers that seem likely:-
Astronomical Observations made at Chislehurst. This is the original of paper print Phil[osophical] Trans[actions], Vol 52, p67.
Astronomical Observations made at Chislehurst 1773. Original of Phil Trans, Vol 64, p329 of Miss Herschel's Comet in Aug & Sept. Original pf Phil Trans Vol 77, p55.
I could show you these MSS and you could see whether they are what the Yale people want.'
