| Creator | Whewell; William (1794-1866); British mathematician |
| Date | 9 May 1862 |
| Description | Whewell is sorry that Herschel cannot be lured to Cambridge for the British Association meeting, but hopes that something will bring them together. He is glad that Herschel 'and old Homer jig on together so steadily'. He gives comments on Herschel's latest lines of translation of 'The Iliad'. Something of [Augustus] De Morgan's is 'good fun as usual'. |
