| Title | Copy letter from Robert [William Frederick] Harrison, Royal Society, London, to A B [Alfred Bray] Kempe |
| Creator | Harrison; Robert William Frederick (1858-1945); Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society |
| Recipient | Kempe; Sir; Alfred Bray (1849-1922) |
| Date | 21 May 1903 |
| Description | Sir Michael Foster has written to Sir Clements Markham about the Antarctic dispatches, which he did not mention he had while they were discussing the draft letter to the Treasury. [Cyril] Longhurst received them on Monday morning, and he should have informed both presidents immediately. Instead he took them to Markham, who gave them to Mr [John Scott] Keltie at the Geographical Society, who typed them up. Longhurst marked the letters as private and confidential 'to save them from the journalistic maw of Keltie'. Dr [Joseph] Larmor and Sir Michael think a copy of the dispatches should go to Sir William Wharton and Captain [Thomas Henry] Tizard. |
