  <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. Gives a list of the close Polar stars. Started last night to observe the stars on John Frederick William Herschel's list but was put off by John Frederick William Herschel's right ascensions. Will observe each star again this night. John Fairbairn cannot divest himself of the apprehension of danger to Andries Stockenström.</dc:description>
