  <dc:title>Letter, from Thomas Young to Sir John Herschel</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. [Board of Longitude] must answer to Parliament, not to public opinion. Do not contest the system. Order pocket sextants; they and barometer will be sent to Captain [Richard] Copeland. Knows how John Frederick William Herschel feels about expenses sent to Edward Sabine, but please write receipt and send it to Thomas Young within week. Will write directly to Charles Babbage for tables.</dc:description>
