  <dc:title>Letter from [William Stephen] Jacob, Madras Observatory, [Chennai] to [Edward Sabine]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Regarding Sabine’s interest in Dr [Thomas Romney] Robinson’s proposal to send a ‘large reflector to the Cape [of Good Hope] to observe the southern nebula’. Jacob argues there are many obstacles in this proposal and suggests finding a place in India would be ‘less’ difficult and describes the benefits of this.</dc:description>
