The letters would have been gathered and listed as part of the correspondence project led by Colonel John Herschel FRS following the death of his father. The note is marked "sent May 1875" and "pressed esp[eciall]y acc[ording] to the letters". 38 letters from Herschel to Colling were copied in volumes 23 and 24, but the location of the letters by Colling are not known. |
