  <dc:title>Letter, from Sir John Herschel to [William Radcliffe Birt], dated at Collingwood</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. William Radcliffe Birt's wave models show that barometer observations will reveal atmospheric dynamics like astronomical observations revealed planetary orbits. Encourages William Radcliffe Birt to seek simple method of temperature corrections applicable to all barometers. Offers possible mechanism. Send results to B.A.A.S quickly. Will send William Radcliffe Birt's letter to [Magnetical and Meteorological] Committee.</dc:description>
