TitleLetter from A J [Arthur James] Balfour, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, to Sir William Huggins
Date12 June 1903
DescriptionSir William Huggins acknowledges the receipt of A J Balfour's letter dated 11 June. This letter refers to an answer Huggins gave in the House of Commons on 26 May on the subject of the Antarctic Expedition. This document compiles the information which the Treasurer and the Senior Secretary of the society gave Huggins at a recent interview.

The facts brought before Huggins exonerate the Royal Society from any responsibility for those incidents in connection with the original application for Government assistance. Balfour is at liberty to communicate this information to the Society.
