NotesOwing to the nature of the correspondence, all based on the outcomes of the expedition whether it regards the success of a commerical supplier's product or a scientific outcome such as the discussion meeting, the file has been catalogued under results and findings. However it would also be of considerable use for those interested in the correspondence generated by mounting a Royal Society expedition.
