  <dc:title>Letter, from Thomas Maclear to Sir John Herschel, dated at Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Intended to ride over today, but urgent mail from England claimed his attention. No news from the Admiralty. No news of the tide machine. The tripods are finished. Gathers that the Bonita cannot perform all D. F. J. Arago wished.</dc:description>
