| Title | Letter, from Thomas Maclear to Sir John Herschel |
| Creator | Thomas Maclear |
| Recipient | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 10 September 1836 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Much obliged for F. W. Bessel's zone. Thinks his own extra meridian observations of the comet will be respectable. Feels sure Fearon Fallows could not have approved of the supports of the dome. Has been promised the pleasure of inspecting the expenses of the Observatory. Captain J. E. Alexander and Dr. John Murray will call this morning for a parting cup of tea. |
