  <dc:title>Letter from Thomas Earnshaw, 119 High Holborn, to the Board of Longitude</dc:title>
  <dc:description>On Earnshaw's claim to £2500 from the Board of Longitude for his designs for time-keepers.  Earnshaw dismisses all rumours and categorically states that he is the inventor of his watches.  He also mentions that he has "taken the liberty...to write down a few points for their consideration" (this appears to be the letter at MM/8/54).</dc:description>
