  <dc:title>Letter, from Thomas I. M. Forster to Sir John Herschel, dated at Bruges</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Hopes he will look out for the periodical meteors and give him his observations. Has seen some curious falling stars. Is constructing a new anemometer and used it to detect surging gales. Visited a monastery yesterday to see a new instrument for perpetual motion.</dc:description>
