| Title | Letter, from Charles Babbage to Sir John Herschel, dated at Dorset |
| Creator | Charles Babbage |
| Date | 25 January 1865 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Commiserates with John Frederick William Herschel in his illness, and says Charles Babbage is ill also and confined to his house. Seeing John Frederick William Herschel's letter in the Philosophical Magazine [see John Frederick William Herschel's 1864-12-20] seems to Charles Babbage to obviate completely the need for any further response. |
