| Title | Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to James South |
| Creator | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Recipient | James South |
| Date | 11 November 1825 |
| Description | Contemporary copy in sender's hand, signed by sender. Royal Society [of London] Council will meet 17 Nov. to discuss awarding its Copley medal; hence James South's paper, to be presented to Royal Society [of London] later that day, cannot be considered for the award. Other matters have prevented John Frederick William Herschel from preparing annotations of James South's latest paper on double stars. |
