  <dc:title>Copy letter from G G [George Gabriel] Stokes, Secretary of the Royal Society, B H [Burlington House], to T [Thomas] Grubb</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Confirming the decision of the Telescope Committee to construct an 'equatorial instrument', and noting its specifications. Stokes states that they would like a formal contract for this, and states their hopes for the telescope to be ready to be trialled by the end of August or September, as there is greater chance of more favourable weather. </dc:description>
