Letter, from Thomas Galloway to Sir John Herschel, dated at Serjeants' Inn Autograph letter signed by sender. Is obliged for his encouraging note. G. B. Airy has sent him two useful pamphlets on F. W. Bessel, which John Frederick William Herschel may care to see. Duties of the President of the Royal Astronomical Society should not prove too difficult as W. H. Smyth can do most of the duties. 14 December 1846
