Date[1908]
DescriptionScott has received the Meteorological Volume from the Discovery Expedition, but has not been able to read it until recently because he has just gotten married. Scott notes that some of the remarks from Shaw's preface to the work are unfair and inaccurate, and that his indignation is shared by the other members of the Expedition. Scott writes that Geikie must have been ignorant that the account contained objectionable matter. Scott would like to see Geikie, and his future saddress is 174 Buckingham Palace Road, London.
