| Description | Copy of letter, copied as part of the correspondence project led by Colonel John Herschel FRS following the death of his father. Conduct of George Thomas Napier [governor at Cape of Good Hope, 1837-43] toward Andries Stockenström was unimpeachable. Stockenström's letters to John Frederick William Herschel show favorable view of George Thomas Napier. George Thomas Napier was not responsible for Stockenström's removal. |
