  <dc:title>Copy of a letter from Joseph Banks, Soho Square</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Letter to an MP, most probably on sitting one on the Parliamentary Committee investigating Mudge's petition, forwarding on a letter from Banks to William Windham MP, of the 20th April.

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>
