  <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 calling on John Frederick William Herschel today but legs and feet were too swollen. Has postponed his journey to Klypfonteyn until the first week in March, to make some alterations to the instrument. Is glad John Frederick William Herschel will visit the mountains with him. Believes the Thalia is about to sail soon. Formalhoet is now useless at noon.</dc:description>
