| Title | Letter from Francis Beaufort, Admiralty to Edward Sabine |
| Date | 27 July 1853 |
| Description | Beaufort agrees with Sabine to prioritise writing the results of Captain [Frederick William] Beechey’s mission. Beaufort remarks that Dayman would perform the office proposed by Sabine very well, but suggests appointing Lord [John] Wrottesley [2nd Baron Wrottesley], ‘superintendent of the winds’. Sabine approves of the work conducted by [Henry Mangles] Denham and [William] Chimmo. |
