Sends a cutting from the Stroud Journal concerning JH's father, which may interest JH.
Thanks JH for his 1862-6-2. Apologizes for misstatements TP had made [Stroud Journal, 10 May 1862] about William Herschel.
Outlines the early life of his father, Sir William Herschel, and shows that the cutting received from the Stroud Journal was inaccurate. [Marked 'not sent.']
Gives details of William Herschel's youth, to correct errors in TP's anecdote about WH in Stroud Journal.
Has just received the Stroud Journal and TP's letter. Thinks it a fair and proper thing that TP has done. His own letter had no sinister insinuation.
