Dear Lord Tweedsmuir,

Sometime ago Edward Shackleton wrote to you on my behalf, about a plan whereby I hope to continue my geological work in Ellesmere Land. You were good enough to consent to put this plan before the Canadian Government. I also sent in an official applicaiton, but up to the present time have received no reply.

As the s.s.Nascopie sails early in July, time is now getting very short and unless I hear from the Canadian Government soon, there will be no time to make the necessary arrangments. I should be very grateful if you could do anything to expedite things a little.

With apologies for troubling you,

Yours sincerely [Hand-written signature] Robert Bentham Robert Bentham.
