| Title | Letter from Edward L S [Lygon Somers] Cocks, 43 Charing Cross, to [Alfred Bray] Kempe |
| Creator | Cocks; Edward Lygon Somers (1858-1923); treasurer of the Royal Geographical Society |
| Recipient | Kempe; Sir; Alfred Bray (1849-1922) |
| Date | 11 August 1903 |
| Description | He had thought Kempe might still be in London, as the courts are still sitting. [Robert] Chalmers is anxious to pay the Harrods bill, but cannot get exact figuees while [Cyril] Longhurst is away in Dundee. Of the £1,400 [in the 'Discovery' fund], £300 is due to [William] Colbeck 'for sending home the Discovery men' Cocks thinks this should be repaid to the 'Morning' fund, so the available balance after paying the 'Discovery' crew wages would be about £350. He will wait until Chalmers returns, particularly as Sir W [William] Wharton thinks the costs for engineers and stores for the discovery will amount to about £400. 'I suppose you see that they have taken an estimate for 45,000??' |
