  <dc:title>Letter Charles Smallwood, Isle Jesus, Canada to Edward Sabine, London</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Smallwood informs Sabine of the arrival of the transit and declinometer. Includes a bill of exchange for £45 for the chronometer [see MS/257/4/216]. Refers to the price for a transit apparatus. Smallwood will now begin observations with the declinometer as suggested by Sabine. Remarks he has been unable to keep continuous observations but has ‘kept up a constant practice in the manipulation of the hole of the instruments’.</dc:description>
