| Description | Headed: 'Extracts from letters by Mr. W. Waterfield referring to W.J.H. [William James Herschel] Berhampore'
Commencing 'June 1857. Herschel is only allowed his increased pay from June 17th. As he passed early in April & it was settled in May, this is no better than cheating...'
With extracts from letters [to Mary Waterfield?] of 15 July: 'Herschel has his district in beautiful order'; 1 August, noting that Herschel is neglecting his health; and 28 July, when Waterfield states that Herschel will have difficulty in gaining a magistracy, as 'Buckland the Judicial Secretary hates him & makes no scruple of declaring that any one who wants an appointment has only to apply when Herschel is a candidate in order to have a good chance'. |
