Copy letter from William Bate Hardy, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Douglas M. Gane Esquire; 4 & 5 Warwick Court, Gray's Inn, W.C.l. Informs Mr. Douglad M. Gane that Council are unlikely to intervene in the case of Tristan da Cunha on purely philanthropic grounds, and asks if any case can be made on the scientific side of things. Suggests the island's importance as a meteorological station, or on account of its bird life, as possibilities. 31 March 1922
