  <dc:title>Letter from Charles Calder Stewart, Free Manse, Scone, to William James Herschel</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Congratulating William on his forthcoming marriage, using it as an opportunity to break the ice after a gap in communication of ten years. He comments on the blessings of marriage and from his own union with 'Aunt Jemima'. He considers that Miss Hardcastle [Anne Emma Hardcastle, later Herschel] looked very delicate. He hopes for a possible meeting on their marriage tour, since William's return to India means 'it is not likely we shall meet again on Earth'.  </dc:description>
