Summary:
Thanks for letter, but has not received W. E. Hickson's memoir. Regrets JH sees no use in a survey of the North Pole region. The scheme seems to be one that the President of the Geographical Society should encourage. The ribald buffoonery of the Times has done much good amongst the scientific world.
