  <dc:title>Translation of a letter, from Mario Gemmellaro to Sir John Herschel, dated at Nicolosi sull'Etna</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Modern translation of letter HS/8/102. Pleased to hear of the good health of John Frederick William Herschel and family. Everyone hopes John Frederick William Herschel will make new discoveries in the physiological and anatomical fields as a result of his observations. Etna's crater is slowly changing. A fireball has been observed; also Halley's Comet as correctly predicted by Niccolo Cacciatore.</dc:description>
