  <dc:title>Letter from Humphrey Lloyd, Trinity College, Dublin to Charles James Buchanan Riddell</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Lloyd apologises that his previous letter sent with a box of apparatus was detained by the admiralty due to some mistake, and was only recently released. Discussion on the delays to building the [Toronto] observatory. Lloyd enquires when Riddell made the term observations, as his observations do not correspond with the correct day. Lloyd notes Captain [John Theophilus] Boileau's addition to the report [of the physical committee] entitled 'memorandum on the books'. Discussion on the method of placing three instruments, and Lloyd has sent Riddell a copy of his paper on the subject [not enclosed]. Lloyd mentions writing to Edward Sabine about the thermometer Riddell is using. </dc:description>
