My dear Baron von Mueller
I must thank you for sending us all the interesting papers relating to the voyage of the Antarctic;1 and I also wish to express to you my high appreciation of the extremely valuable service done by you and the members of the Melbourne Antarctic Committee. To your efforts, during a course of years, is due the attention that is now being given to Antarctic Exploration. I endeavoured to give expression to what I felt regarding the Geographical services of my colleagues in Australia in my address in November, 1893, and another occasion.
M sent copies of the notes, journal, chart of the ship's track, and chart of Robertson's Bay, together with numerous views of Antarctic scenery taken during the Svend Foyn-Kristensen Antarctic Expedition of 1894-5, to His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway; to the President of the International Geographical Congress; to the Royal Geographical Society, London, and to Sir Henry Barkly, on behalf of the Antarctic Exploration Committee. See Potter (1896), pp. 155-6.
