| Title | Letter from A B [Alfred Bray] Kempe, 10 Porchester Square, Hyde Park, to Professor [Edward Bagnall] Poulton |
| Creator | Kempe; Sir Alfred Bray (1849-1922); British lawyer and mathematician |
| Recipient | Poulton; Sir; Edward Bagnall (1856-1943); zoologist |
| Date | 18 November 1899 |
| Description | Letter outlines Kempe's issue with the 'Antarctic financial clause'. In June 1899 the Joint Committee resolved that the Treasurer could only draw on funds up to £50, in amounts no greater than £10 each. Any further amounts needed to be approved by the Committee before payment. When the Executive Committee was formed, it was given powers to sanction payments up to £400; Kempe therefore believes the Treasurer would be forced to call the Joint Committee to approve large payments every time the Executive Committee sanctions one. |
