| Title | Letter from James David Forbes, Athenaeum to Edward Sabine |
| Date | 9 June 1849 |
| Description | Discusses the contents of a letter Sabine intends to write. Forbes suggests to ‘confine the topic’ of the letter to the ‘appointment of the President of the Association alone’, and fears to go beyond this would involve them in ‘difficulties’. Refers to the ‘intentions’ of the Council. Forbes informs Sabine he has not yet received the magnetic observations. |
