Letter on printed notepaper of the British Antarctic Expedition 1910 offices in Victoria Street, London S.W, written by Edward Evans, Captain of the "Terra Nova" and second-in-command of the 1910-13 Antarctic Expedition, to Dr E.A Wilson, Chief of the scientific staff on the expedition, who was to die alongside Scott in 1912. Evans invites Wilson and Mrs Wilson to lunch on Monday, and writes "I have to go to the "Terra Nova" by the 10.10 from Fenchurch Street Monday ..... Capt. Scott returns on Monday night later. The British people have paid £688 but promise more. I think I will do no more collecting - it is a beastly job". Also a postcard of Evans signed in ink "yours sincerely ERGR Evans", and a postcard of Dr Wilson in the Antarctic. A fine Evans letter to Wilson and signed photo. (3).
