A letter from Charles Chree to George. F Fitzgerald outlining the transport of scientific instruments to Markree Observatory in Co. Sligo. Mr F. W. Henkel is also mentioned as he was the appointed astronomer at Markree Observatory. pp. 2

Transcription:

Dear Professor Fitzgerald,

We have completed the examination of the dip circle and [xxxx] for Valencia, and gut out the tables too, so that the instruments are ready for transport to Ireland. In case you have no other convoy in view I might mention Mr Henkel of Markree Observatory proposes to begin a course of magnetic instruction here around Jan 8th terminating about Jan 20th when he rehomes I think in Ireland.

I know nothing of Mr Henkel or whether he would be likely to undertake charge of the instruments.

To whom shall the account be made out for the verification fee?

Yours faithfully,

Charles Chree
Superintendent
