  <dc:title>Letter from Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, Plymouth, to Dr Thomas Birch</dc:title>
  <dc:description>On the possible re-routing of the voyage of HMS 'Seahorse' to observe the Transit of Venus in 1761.

Mason and Dixon again make the case for voyaging to Scanderoon ("...it will make a third Point upon the Earth's Disk of very great advantage to those of St Helena and Greenwich") and end their letter "we impatiently wait the Council's Resolutions".</dc:description>
