Letter from [George] Herbert Fowler, 12 South Square, Gray's Inn, London, to Professor [Michael] Foster, [Secretary of The Royal Society[ Proposes that the recommendation for a vessel investigation in 1899, instead of 1900, be sent directly to the Admiralty. He suggests adding a second naturalist but excluding the rope. Fowler emphasizes the need for efficiency, as the matter has been thoroughly investigated. Captain Moore has offered space for the second naturalist, making it feasible. 20 February 1899
