| Title | Letter from Sir Clements Markham, 21 Eccleston Square, to Sir William Huggins |
| Creator | Markham; Sir; Clements Robert (1830-1916); President of the Royal Geographical Society |
| Recipient | Huggins; Sir; William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Date | 26 March 1903 |
| Description | Encloses a copy of a telegram from Captain [Robert Falcon] Scott. 'He will pass a second winter in the "Discovery"; and a sum of £15000 must be raised'. Markham is satisfied with the work done so far, and this makes the need for the relief ship very apparent. He regrets that 'poor young Shackleton has been sent back invalided'. |
