| Description | Copy of draft letter, copied as part of the correspondence project led by Colonel John Herschel FRS following the death of his father. Thanks for the offer of 25 copies of the Admiralty Manual. Thinks contributors should receive 6 copies instead of the 2 copies originally intended. Some misunderstanding of his proposals regarding returns of information. Printer has made a blunder in the Manual and John Frederick William Herschel has given orders for new pages to be substituted. |
