TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Griffith Taylor
Date13 June 1913
DescriptionHarrison would now like to return the two volumes In the Heart of the Antarctic [by Ernest Henry Shackleton] which Taylor left with the idea of the showing them at the Conversazione. Professor [Arthur] Schuster was consulted, along with others, and it was decided that it was hardly safe to leave the book with its irreplaceable annotations and autographs to be handled bys such a crowded company as attends these parties, and so it was kept in the background.
