  <dc:title>Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to [William Radcliffe Birt], dated at Collingwood</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Contemporary copy in sender's hand, signed by sender. Agrees that Kew Observatory should remain open. Will urge B.A.A.S. to continue observations. Admiralty Manual going slowly. William Radcliffe Birt may use Admiralty's printer for William Radcliffe Birt's separate article.
