Letter, from Robert FitzRoy to Sir John Herschel

Description
Autograph letter signed by sender. Thanks for his opinion; it will save him from exposure, but it is too late to get the book altered. Comments on some parts of John Frederick William Herschel's book on meteorology. The atmosphere appears to be smaller in extent than John Dalton conceived.
