  <dc:title>Letter from William Windham MP, Hill Street, to Sir Joseph Banks</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Denying that in seeking to reward Mudge he implies any reflection upon the Board of Longitude.

Thomas Mudge petitioned Parliament after his Father's instrument to determine Longitude was awarded £500.  Mudge believed it should have claimed the higher sums offered by the Board of Longitude and blamed Nevil Maskelyne for this.</dc:description>
