Incomplete letter from J L E [John Louis Emil] Dreyer, to [Joseph Alfred Hardcastle] He has disposed of the silly story of the desertion [of William Herschel from the army] and wonders if Hardcastle can find out anything about William Herschel living with a man named Miller after leaving the Durham Militia in the letters to Jacob [Herschel]. He thinks this is from Holden, whose source was 'The Doctor' by [Robert] Southey. He does not know what type of work this was, quoting from Byron on Southey, and thinks many such stories are apocryphal. 17 May 1911
