602 SCOTT'S LAST EXPEDITION [March 
Good-bye. Please see my widow is looked after as 
far as Admiralty is concerned. 
R. Scott. 
My kindest regards to Lady Egerton. I can never 
forget all your kindness. 
To Mr. J. J. Kinsey—Christchureh 
March 24th, 1912. 
My dear Kinsey, 
Pm afraid we are pretty well done — four days 
of blizzard just as we were getting to the last depot. 
My thoughts have been with you often. You have been 
a brick. You will pull the expedition through, Pm sure. 
My thoughts are for my wife and boy. Will you 
do what you can for them if the country won't. 
I want the boy to have a good chance in the world, 
but you know the circumstances well enough. 
If I knew the wife aud boy were in safe keeping I 
should have little regret in leaving the world, for I feel 
that the country need not be ashamed of us — our journey 
has been the biggest on record, and nothing but the most 
exceptional hard luck at the end would have caused us to 
fail to return. We have been to the S. pole as we set 
out. God bless you and dear Mrs. Kinsey. It is good 
to remember you and your kindness. 
Your friend, 
R. Scott.
