| Title | Copy letter from W N [William Napier] Shaw, Meteorological Office, 63 Victoria Street, London, to H T [Hartley Travers] Ferrar, Survey Department, Giza, Egypt |
| Creator | Shaw; Sir; William Napier (1854-1945) |
| Recipient | Ferrar; Hartley Travers (1879-1932); geologist and polar explorer |
| Date | 10 December 1908 |
| Description | Shaw acknowledges that he has received Ferrar's letter from 1 December 1908 [see MS/591/2/3]. He believes that all the data received by the Meteorological Office has been published, so will investigate what happened to the observations from the Ferrar Glacier. No further published volumes relating to the expedition are planned, and Shaw sugggests Ferrar could write a separate paper on the subject. His comments about the snow gauge readings and the nails will be sent to [William Henry] Dines. A summary of payments owed to Shaw by the Royal Society's Antarctic Committee is included. |
