A note to CH on her 95th birthday.
Happy that his Cape Results are nearly finished. After reviewing his work, JH concluded that the amount of error per observation is no more than 30 or 35 seconds.
Remarks that the citizens of Hanover 'are all out of their senses' over the newly completed railway. Has been confined to the upstairs of her home since 3 February.
Reports the birth of JH's 9th child, Mathilda Rose Herschel.
