  <dc:title>Letter from Edward Whymper, 19 Canterbury Place, Lambeth Road to Edward Sabine</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Whymper expresses happiness if his ‘scrambles’ [possibly referring to his book ‘Scrambles amongst the Alps’ which details his attempts to summit the Matterhorn] gave Sabine any ‘pleasure’, but Whymper describes it ‘a mere records of holiday excursions’. Discussion regarding Sabine’s actions regarding proposed glacier investigations. Reference to Dr [John] Tyndall’s glacier observations.</dc:description>
