  <dc:title>Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to James South</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Contemporary copy of the letter. Making, reducing, and publishing double star work is very difficult and, because of Wilhelm Struve's recent endeavors, less pressing than it had been. Mentions various doubles. Expresses interest in James South's plan to purchase a very large refractor.</dc:description>
