  <dc:title>Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Charles Vernon Boys, Fellow of the Royal Society</dc:title>
  <dc:description>'Dear Mr Boys,
Mr Common gave us two 20 inch mirrors, mounted equatorially. At present one is in the possession of the Astronomer Royal &amp; the other in that of Mr Common. If you are going to apply for one of them I must ascertain whether either of them is free. But I shall not take any steps till I learn from you what you ascertained last night from Mr Common himself.
Yours truly
Herbert Rix
Asst Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. </dc:description>
