BRITISH ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION, 1910-1914 -- RAYMOND EDWARD PRIESTLEY (1886-1974) Autograph letter signed ('Ray') to his wife Edith ('Dear Edie'), Camp at Cape Royds, 19 January 1911, a hurried note 'to send you a stamp with every good wish for the season & next'; she will learn his news from his diary and letters to his parents, 'so I won't tell you any now. As a matter of fact between you & me & the gatepost I haven't any time to do so'; he concludes with news of conditions, 'Rotten weather here. But we are very comfortable in a tent with sleeping bags', in pencil, one page, 4to , on B.A.E. paper (soiled). A letter from the early exploratory sledging of the Terra Nova shore parties. Priestley was a veteran of Nimrod expedition, and three days previously had revisited Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds, which he found eerily unchanged from two years before.
