Letter from William James Herschel, the New Lodge, to 'Dearest Mother' [Margaret Brodie Herschel] He sends back the kind letters, all he has to return aside from Hubert Airy's which he will return to Alick [Alexander Stewwart Herschel]. He discusses other letters. He would like to spend the evening with his mother tomorrow if he can have a bed for the night. He notes other family movements, and they intend to take lodgings in Dover. He wants sea air and cannot walk a mile without becoming fatigued. He hopes Julia will be able to spend some time with them. He will bring Waterfield's verses tomorrow. 27 October 1873
