TYNDALL, John (1820-1893). Physicist and mountaineer.
Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Buxton, 1 page 8vo in purple ink, Royal Institution (blind stamp), 4 March no year. Charmingly accepting her invitation.
'It is so long since I have seen your handwriting that it now exercises upon me a sway potent enough to cause me to break through all unsociable resolves. ...'
Tyndall is almost certainly writing to Emily Mary Buxton, wife of Charles Buxton (1822-1871, politician) and daughter of Sir Henry Holland (1788-1873, physician).
