Letter to George F. FitzGerald from Charles Chree discussing the delivery of equipment to Ireland and the accidental breaking of a thermometer.
pp. 2


Dear Professor Fitzgerald,

I am sending up by special messenger the magnetometer and [xxx] circle for Valencia with the tripod stand. The instruments are carefully packed and with and with ordinary careful treatment should arrive safely.

Unfortunately one of the thermometers was broken here and we have not had the time as of yet to replace it. A new thermometer however has been ordered and we shall send it directly to Ireland , in a week or so, of course it is not a [secondary?] item.

Yours faithfully,
Charles Chree
Superintendent.
