| Title | Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to James South, dated at Slough |
| Creator | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 24 November 1838 |
| Description | Contemporary copy in sender's hand, signed by sender. As John Frederick William Herschel is not aware that James South has been attacked because of the incident referred to in John Frederick William Herschel's 1826-11-14, John Frederick William Herschel is unwilling to give permission for the publication of that letter. It seems to John Frederick William Herschel that James South is being attacked for unsubstantiated attacks he made on the President and Council of the Royal Society [of London] |
