| Description | Sabine has been summoned to attend the appointment which Lord Melbourne has made to receive a deputation of the Royal Society [on the subject of the Antarctic expedition and global magnetic scheme]. Sabine is confident of the deputation's success.
Returns an interesting letter of [George Biddell] Airy's [not enclosed] which Lloyd had sent. Sabine is pained that [Francis] Beaufort does not think favourably of Airy.
