TitleCopy letter from Archibald Geikie, to William Napier Shaw, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date9 November 1910
DescriptionThe proofs and plates of the Antarctic Meteorological Volume have been laid before Geikie. They will at once be passed on to the engravers. Geikie would be obliged if Shaw could provide information in preparing the remaining plates (about 90). The additions have greatly added to the cost of production and the accounts are now closed as there shall be no more funds beyond those originally provided.
