| Title | Letter from Sir Clements Markham, 21 Eccleston Square, to [Alfred Bray] Kempe |
| Creator | Markham; Sir; Clements Robert (1830-1916); President of the Royal Geographical Society |
| Recipient | Kempe; Sir; Alfred Bray (1849-1922) |
| Date | 20 May 1903 |
| Description | Markham has signed the joint letter but feels 'much aggrieved' about its contents. In his opinion a second relief ship was unneccessary and it may be impossible to have one ready this year. 'I fear that this unnecessary demand for a large further sum will seriously injure any prospect of help'. Markham believes his own estimates ought to have been used instead. 'In the present case I certainly do feel aggrieved at what I have been almost forced to sign merely to avoid interminable delay'. Must be careful not to contradict each other if separate letters become necessary. |
