Dear Sir:
In response to your previous letter regarding the proposed expedition, the gentlemen of the British Exploration Commission must deny you the financial support you requested. It is the position of the Commission to only provide financial backing for those expeditions it considers to be possibly lucrative in the near future; and as the island you described is inhabited only by, in your words, ‘hostile and powerful native groups’ and contains no valuable mineral or natural resources to exploit, your proposed expedition does not fall under this category.
On a more personal level, I feel it is my duty as a law-abiding citizen of our great Empire to warn you against further pursuit of this nonsense. Your insistence that you have discovered an island that cannot be found by those who are looking for it is not only ridiculous but also scientifically impossible. Furthermore, the assertion that this island can in fact be found for approximately two weeks out of every two hundred years lessens the chance of your improbable island’s existence even more. But above all, your description of magical objects contained on this island that are capable of stopping the natives from physically assaulting one another is quite ludicrous. Your farcical fairy tales may have scared your children into obeying you, but it is quite another matter to attempt to embezzle funds from the British Empire using this same tale!
Out of my respect for your previous accomplishments, I humbly advise you to forget your made-up stories. Attracting attention to yourself in this unsavory manner will not only cause you to be ridiculed, but may also throw into doubt the discoveries you have made over the course of your long and illustrious career. Do not publicize your beliefs, as you may be thrown into an asylum for the rest of your days.
Don’t bother to keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Sir Robert Smith
Head of the British Exploration Commission
