  <dc:title>Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to George Biddell Airy, dated at Collingwood</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Copy autographed or initialed by sender. Proposes that the Royal Astronomical Society award medals regarding the discovery of Neptune to both U. J. J. Leverrier and J. C. Adams, giving first honors to Leverrier, and specifying distinctly the grounds for awarding the second. Hopes his resolution will not be seen as blaming anyone and that it will have a 'healing and a friendly effect.'</dc:description>
