Letter, from William Rutter Dawes to Sir John Herschel, dated at Ormskirk
Reference number: HS/6/59
Date: 9 April 1839
Description
Autograph letter signed by sender. John Frederick William Herschel's letter has gone a long way to destroying his hopes for success at Kew. A great pity that the Observatory could not be put to good use. Must soon obtain employment more congenial to his tastes and this would seem an ideal position.
