| Description | Harrison had already send a card to Geikie reporting the arrival of the Antarctic maps, and has acknowledged them to Lieutenant Mulock. A parcel of maps from Bartholomews and several Malta Fever proofs have also been received, and will be kept until Geikie returns the following week, unless he wishes them to be forwarded.
He reports that his efforts to clear up the Library have yielded little apparent progress, despite filling up many shelves downstairs.
Harrison also notes that he was disturbed to see an account of the celebrations of Lord Lister's 80th birthday, as he had been unaware of the date and no one connected with the Royal Society appeared to notice or believe it worthwhile drawing their attention to the celebrations. If it is not considered too late, he wonders if a letter of congratulations could be written to Lister, to be signed by the President, or if a resolution of Council at their next meeting would suffice.
He asks for Geikie's view on the type of the letter, as it was produced by a new typewriter. Harrison finally notes when he will be in Oxford and when in London. |
