No. 1 Brick Court, Temple, London E.C. Dated 27th June 1914 - Thanks him for the congratulations [on his knighthood]; encloses a letter from [Herbert] Read to [Arthur] Shipley concerning funding for outfitting the expedition, which is not encouraging; details instructions from Lilly Frazer on learning to use the phonograph: avoid C. S. Myers, but instead apply to [William] Manning of the Solar Physics Observatory at Cambridge; she will pay to have Manning visit him in Ovington and spend the night for a leisurely lesson, is prepared to make a gift of a phonograph for his expedition. The letter from H. J. Read to Shipley is dated 24th June 1914, says the £100 asked is too much to ask for outfitting an expedition.
