| Title | Letter from Alexander Bryson, Edinburgh to Edward Sabine |
| Date | 28 March 1860 |
| Description | Bryson has written to Mr Hogg in regards to transferring the declination, bifilar and vertical force magnetometer from Makerstoun to Kew, and accepts Sabine’s offer of £20. Bryson informs Sabine of possible delays in sending the instruments due to preparation of the sale of the large equatorial by auction. Bryson refers to an altitude and azimuth instrument for sale at Makerstoun, and predicts its sale of £80, as it is made by Troughton. |
