  <dc:title>Letter from Christopher Henyk Diderich Buys Ballot, Utrecht to Edward Sabine</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Ballot introduces Dr [Pieter Adrian] Bergsma and recommends him to the care of Sabine. Despite overcoming many obstacles Ballot still has not yet gained authority to order instruments for his [magnetic survey of the East Indies].
