TitleLetter from Ralph Copeland, Parsonstown to Edward Sabine
Date8 August 1873
DescriptionCopeland expresses his opinion that England will not occupy an Antarctic station to observe the transit of Venus, and believes that the ‘dangers and difficulties’ ‘have been overstated’. Copeland has not heard anything regarding a German Antarctic expedition. Copeland hopes a German expedition will visit a ‘very promising field of east Greenland, however as [Carl Christian] Koldewey is now married this examination may fall to someone else.
