TitleLetter from Edward L S [Lygon Somars] Cocks, 43 Charing Cross, to [Alfred Bray] Kempe
CreatorCocks; Edward Lygon Somars (1858-1923); treasurer of the Royal Geographical Society
Date25 September 1901
Description[Cyril] Longhurst has Scarlet Fever, and Hodge 'has had a fit' which left Cocks and [Clements] Markham stranded yesterday. As there are many applications for payments, Cocks has written cheques for £3,800 worth of 'undoubted claims', and hopes Kempe will approve or sign these upon his return. [Robert] Chalmers was not available so Cocks acted as he thought best. Cocks will be away from 5 to 17 October and will then return to London. He hopes Kempe is having a good time in Venice.
