Title | Copy letter from Archibald Geikie, to Commander Ernest Henry Shackleton |
Date | 30 July 1907 |
Description | In reply to Shackleton's letter of the previous day. It is absolutely impossible at such short notice to obtain the authority to present Shackleton's Expedition with a complete set of the 'Challenger' Reports, but in accordance with an arrangement made with His Majesty's Treasury, he has requested the Stationary Office to send him the following: Deep Sea Deposits; Botany, volume one; Zoology volumes three, four, seven, eight, and ten to 32 inclusive; the Summary of Scientific Results Part LXXXIII. Apologizes that it is not in his power to do more and had the request been received even a week earlier it might have been possible to obtain authority to present a full set. |
