| Title | Letter, from Sir John Herschel to Henry Kater |
| Creator | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 31 July 1823 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. 'Our micrometer screws' are not in error. F. G. W. Struve's star measurements using Josef Fraunhofer's repeating micrometer agree well with John Frederick William Herschel's. So error must be in Henry Kater's observations. |
