Title: Letter from George Wyatt, 1912 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers provided ordinary and specially made emergency biscuits to the ill fated British Antarctic Expedition to the South Pole, led by Captain Scott. This is a letter from George Wyatt to Huntley & Palmers thanking them for supplying a case to the Officers of the Terra Nova who were sailing to collect Captain Scott. George Wyatt was not aware at the time he wrote the letter (19 September 1912) that Captain Scott had died and would not be 'appreciating the biscuits that Huntley & Palmers had kindly sent'.
