DescriptionShaw acknowledges that he has received Ferrar's letter from 1 December 1908.

Shaw notes that no additional works relating to the 'Winter Quarters' or 'Sledge Journeys' is contemplated, but that there will be a volume of maps. The Royal Society owes Ferrar £32. 5. 0 for various observations, but Shaw notes that Ferrar's travel expenses have been repaid.
