Party and communicate with Campbell.

I should like you to give him every facility you can for his work, but of
course you will remember that he is an enthusiast, and in certain
circumstances might undervalue his own safety or that of the ship. I
don't want you to run risks to get pictures.

I have hitherto made no mention of Amundsen, as we have no news of him
beyond that which you brought. The circumstances do not appear to me to
make it incumbent on you to attempt to visit his station. But should the
"Fram" not have been heard of, or public opinion seem to point to the
advisability, you are of course at liberty to go along the Barrier and to
rearrange this programme as necessary for the purpose.

Finally, I wish you every sort of good fortune in the work that is to do,
and better weather than you encountered last year. I am sure that you
will do all that is possible under the circumstances.

(Signed) R.F. SCOTT.


II.--INSTRUCTIONS TO DR. G. C. SIMPSON.

MY DEAR SIMPSON,--In leaving you in charge of the Cape Evans Station I
have little to do beyond expressing the hearty wish that all may be well
with yourself and the other members of the Expedition remaining with you.

I leave in your charge a box containing instructions for the Commanding
Officer of the "Terra Nova" and other documents which I wish you to
deliver to the proper persons.
