Copy letter from J C W [John Charles William] Herschel, Westbury Vicarage, Brackley, Northants., to [Arthur Robert] Hinks, the Secretary, the Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore The maps are ready for delivery according to the list sent. He gives dimensions of the chest they are currently in and asks if the Royal Geographical Society would like to have it. He sends the catalogue, so that the Geographical Society might pick out things they would like to have. He offers Schlagenheit's results of a scientific mission to India and High Asia from 1851, probably connected with Colonel John Herschel's work on the Trigonometrical Survey. Colonel Herschel's own painstaking report was never publsihed 'to his bitter disappointment'. Herschel invites Hinks to Observatory House to renew their acquaintance. November 1943
