Is a collector of autographs and would be pleased to receive an example of JH's.
Is grateful for JH's reply. Wishes she had obtained the autographs of Sir William and Caroline Herschel.
JH's kind letter and enclosures came when she was ill, which accounts for the delay in replying. Is exceedingly grateful for all the autographs. Her brother-in-law [R. S. Newall] has erected a 25" telescope at Gateshead and doubtless would be pleased to show it to JH. Would be grateful for any photographs to go with the autograph collection.
Is grateful for the two portraits. Is sure that her brother would be pleased to show Professor Herschel his telescope. Let him know when in Gateshead.
