TitleLetter, unidentified correspondent, Department of Applied Science, St. George's Square, Sheffield, to Percy George Hamnall Boswell
Date15 January 1937
DescriptionHe returns the file of letters on Leakey which Boswell lent him. The Royal Society Council asked for his opinion and he passed on the request that Boswell should see the chapter by Reck. They accepted that suggestion and Seward proposed that Boswell look through the revised version and report on whether the author has acted upon orders from the previous referee. He realizes that Boswell has already sacrificed much time on it. It was agreed that £150 should be set aside for to help Leakey publish a proper description of the culture sequence of Olduvai and that Boswell was to act as final referee. He notes that it was good to have lunch and speak with Boswell the day before. After the Royal Society he went to the Geological Society. He retrieved his remark on Welsh dragons, saying that he risked the President [Owen Thomas Jones] taking it as a reference to himself.
