Copy letter from Archibald Geikie, to Dr Henry Carlton Bastian, Fellow of the Royal Society 'Dear Dr Bastian, Thanks for your kind offer of an exhibit. I am sorry to tell you, however, that the pressure on our space this year has been so great that we had to refuse any more exhibits for want of room. The whole available accommodation has now been exhausted, so that we must regret not to have your exhibit which would have been of interest to many. Yours truly Arch [Archibald] Geikie'. 30 April 1907
