Description | Clements R. Markham stresses the importance of getting a response from the Government as early as possible. Captain Scott's letters cannot, by any possibility, have anything to do with the appeal beyond confirming the fact we have to deal with, and we now know for certain that they will confirm it. The 'Discovery' is wintering a second time and there are provisions to last until January. There is a great danger of catastrophe. A government grant of £6000 is wanted from the government this year, and £6000 next year.
It is of the upmost importance to collect funds for the 'Discovery'. |
