Miss Baldwin will write, and of course she will inform me 

 of her own and all friends' health, &c. 



Ever your affectionate

FROM MISS HERSCHEL TO LADY HERSCHEL. 



HANOVEB, Oct. 30, 1822. 



MY DEAR LADY HERSCHEL, 



We arrived here at noon, on the 28th, without the 

 least accident, but not without the utmost exertion and 

 extreme fatigue to both my brother and myself, from which 

 it will be some time before I shall get the better, on account 

 of the many visits of our friends, who come to convince 

 themselves of our safe arrival, of which I hope you will 

 have been informed long before this can reach you, as Mr. 

 Quintain has promised me to send you a line the moment 

 he reaches London. He left Hanover yesterday. I had 

 wrote a letter in hopes he would have taken it, but that 

 was impossible, and the post from here has been changed 

 from Tuesday to Monday. 



Mr. Hausmann called also here yesterday, and you may 

 easily imagine that many inquiries are made after you and 

 my dear nephew by all those who come near me, and I 

 hope you will soon enable me, by a few lines, to inform 

 them of your welfare and health, and give me the comfort 

 to know that you have regained some of your former com- 

 posure, after the late melancholy change and unsettled 

 state in which we all were involved. 



I found Mrs. H. in personal appearance so different from 

 what I had imagined, that I can hardly believe her to be the 

 same ; she is just sixty-three years of age, and suffers much 

 from rheumatism, which has taken away partially the use 

 of her hands, but she is still of so cheerful a disposition 

 and so active by way of overcoming disease by exercise,
