signed by Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912): "Dear Mr.
Christie, I beg to acknowledge your letter of Sept. 30th. I am
quite in agreement with your proposals which I take to be: That I
place myself in your hands to arrange a series of lectures in
various parts of the country to extend - Xmas next. You will take a
commission of 10% on such money as I may be fortunate enough to
make. In this respect, our interests being identical, I leave it
entirely to you to decide from your wider experience as to when to
lecture on share or when to accept a fee. This I hope carries the
outline of our arrangement, for I agree with you in not desiring a
formal legal agreement and in considering this exchange of letters
sufficient for our mutual understanding. Yours faithfully." A rare
Autograph - Captain Robert Falcoon Scott, British Royal Navy
officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic
regions: The Discovery expedition 1901–04 and the Terra Nova
