From:
William Rutter Dawes
To:
Sir John Herschel
Date:
[9 April 1839]
Source of text:
RS:HS 6.59
Summary:

JH's letter has gone a long way to destroying his hopes for success at Kew. A great pity that the Observatory could not be put to good use. Must soon obtain employment more congenial to his tastes and this would seem an ideal position.
