TitleCopy letter from [James Hopwood Jeans,] Secretary of the Royal Society; to the Secretaries of the British Association for the Advancement of Science; Burlington House
Date18 February 1921
DescriptionNotes that the President and Council of the Royal Society have considered the British Association's Memorandum on a proposed Oceanographical Expedition. Explains that the Royal Society does not doubt the importance of the proposed expedition to science, but hesitates about asking the Government to give so much money (about £300,000) considering the present state of the national finances. Therefore cannot join with the British Association in requesting the Government to despatch the proposed National Expedition for the Exploration of the Seas.
