  <dc:title>Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Eugene F McPike, 1 Park Row, #500, Chicago, United States of America</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The Royal Society library already contains Rigaud's 'Historical Essay on the Principia' and Marian's 'Eloge of Halley'. The Society does not have Rigaud's 'Defence of Halley' but Harrison thinks McPike could obtain all these without difficulty through a second hand booksellers. Shall be happy to let McPike or a representative view the books. Cannot help with regards to genealogical information on the Halley family but there are a few people who undertake this sort of research for payment. </dc:description>
