| Title | Letter from Arthur [Robert] Hinks, Secretary, Royal Geographical Soicety, Kensington Gore, London, S.W.7., to The Treasurer, Royal Society |
| Creator | Hinks; Arthur Robert (1873 - 1945); astronomer and geographer |
| Date | 20 June 1918 |
| Description | Discusses the final account for the publication of the "South Polar Times" by Messrs. Smith Elder & Co, referencing a letter from June 11, 1906, indicating that the work was to be published on behalf of the Antarctic Committee of the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Society, with a £500 grant towards expenses. The account shows a balance of £136.2.10, to be paid to the representatives of the now-dissolved Antarctic Committee. Suggests that this balance be paid into the Endowment Fund for future Polar Research, managed by the Mansion House Committee of the Captain Scott Fund. Additionally mentions informing Lady Scott of the proposed action and seeks agreement from the Council of the Royal Society on this suggestion. |
