To:
Sir John Herschel

Source of text:
RAS:JH Archive 10/5.34; Reel 9
Summary:

Congratulations for Cape Results. Excellent memorial to William Herschel. [Engravings of JH's] portrait were distributed to famous astronomers in northern Europe. Fragile nature precludes shipping it to Italy, India, and America. Believes J. R. Hind and George Bishop have right to discovery of new planet [Iris].
