  <dc:title>Copy of a letter, from John Frederick William Herschel to Richard Sheepshanks, dated at Collingwood</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Richard Sheepshanks will receive two communications for the Royal Astronomical Society, one from S. C. Walker on Neptune's elements, the other from Otto Struve on the interior satellite of Uranus. Walker's could go into the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, whereas Struve's ought be read at a regular meeting. Recommends reading of William Lassell's work on Neptune's satellite as it predates Struve's. Caroline Herschel died on the 9 [Jan.] at age 98.</dc:description>
