Sir James MacBrien, C.B., C.N.G., D.S.O., R.C.M.P., Ottawa.

Eddie Shackleton has written to me about a proposal of a geologist, Mr. Bentham, who accompanied the Ellesmereland expedition, to make a new geological expedition to the Arctic and put in a considerable time at Craig Harbour. It seems to me an excellent plan, but its success depends upon the co-operation of the people here. I believe Eddie Shackleton has already written to you. He has sent me a long statement. Can you advise me which Government Department I should take up the matter with? The primary interest of the expedition would be geological.

Yours very sincerely,
