He has been informed by 'Mr. Hill of the Victoria & Albert Museum' that Harington has 'a Backstaff'.

'I think Mr. Hill mentioned to you that I had a collection of old navigating instruments & he has very kindly been trying to find a backstaff for me'. He ends in the hope that Harington will 'excuse the zeal of the collector'. According to Bruyns and Dunn 'Sextants at Greenwich' 2009 Adams' search for a backstaff proved unsuccessful.
