| Title | Letter from Henry Hicks, Ty Newydd Graig Cave, Tremeirchion, North Wales to [Sir Michael Foster] Secretary of the Royal Society |
| Creator | Hicks; Henry (1837 - 1899) |
| Date | 21 January 1897 |
| Description | Requesting funding by referring to his former application to the Royal Society's Government Grant Committee for a sum of £15. He explains his original request pertains to funding Reverend G. C. H Pollen, F. S. J, of St Beuno's College, Tremeirchion, Denibigshire to enable him to employ labourers to safely excavate a site which Hicks anticipates may reveal important information on paleolithic man. Hicks is writing from North Wales, where he is known to have carried out research, but the letterhead on the letter itself is headed with his permanent address (Hendon Grove, Hendon, London N.W) suggesting he was on a particualr research site at the time of writing. |
