Letter, from Miles Bland to Sir John Herschel, dated at Ramsgate

Reference number: HS/4/158

Description

Autograph letter signed by sender. The postal packet that he forwarded to Durham has been lost, so would be grateful if John Frederick William Herschel would send him another recommendation. Must not speak too humbly of himself. Finds Cambridge much changed.
