  <dc:title>Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to Charles Babbage, dated at Slough</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Copy of letter, copied as part of the correspondence project led by Colonel John Herschel FRS following the death of his father. Charles Babbage is 'incurable castle-builder.' Denies that John Frederick William Herschel falls easily into love. Eradicating 'one hastily conceived &amp; silly passion' has deadened John Frederick William Herschel's heart. Any future love must follow a long acquaintance and friendship.</dc:description>
