RS:HS B27.17a
Summary:

Herschel1254

From:
Sir John Herschel
To:
James South
Date:
[24 November 1838]
Source of text:
RS:HS B27.17b
Summary:

As JH is not aware that JS has been attacked because of the incident referred to in JH's 1826-11-14, JH is unwilling to give permission for the publication of that letter. It seems to JH that JS is being attacked for unsubstantiated attacks he made on the President and Council of the R.S.L.
