Sends a cutting from the Stroud Journal concerning JH's father, which may interest JH.
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.
Thanks JH for his 1862-6-2. Apologizes for misstatements TP had made [Stroud Journal, 10 May 1862] about William Herschel.
