| Title | Letter, from Thomas Maclear to Sir John Herschel |
| Creator | Thomas Maclear |
| Date | 27 January 1836 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Lack of rest prevented him calling this morning, but would like to come this evening and stay the night. Comet did not appear so round last night. There was a terrible wind. Happy with how the wall and the building protected John Frederick William Herschel's 20-ft reflecting telescope from high winds. |
