| Title | Copy letter from Sir William Huggins to, The Right Honourable A J Balfour MP |
| Date | 11 June 1903 |
| Description | Huggins makes clear the position of the Royal Society regarding the relief ship for the National Antarctic Expedition, after Balfour said he has his confidence rudely shaken by the announcement that such a ship was needed, this having not been outlined at the start, and accused the Royal Society of withholding information. Huggins explains that they have found working with the Royal Geographical Society difficult, as they had differing aims. |
