  <dc:title>Copy of draft letter, from Sir John Herschel to Charles G. B. Daubeny, dated at Slough</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Copy of draft letter, copied as part of the correspondence project led by Colonel John Herschel FRS following the death of his father. Sending a paper for Charles Daubeny and one for S. P. Rigaud and William Buckland. Would like Buckland's support for W. H. Mill, a candidate for the Boden professorship at Oxford. Has been speculating on the effect of snow on the heights of mountains. Thinks David Brewster has carried his joke about the decline of chemistry too far.</dc:description>
