My dear Sir
Many thanks for your kind letter of congratulation. The appointment 1 though not actually made out is in progress and may be considered certain.
We have commenced our work with Cambridge and I have no doubt much useful matter will be elicited and opportunity afforded for effecting or giving room for effecting many improvements. 2
Believe me Yours very truly
J F W Herschel
