TitleCopy letter, [Percy George Hamnall Boswell], to Louis Leakey, East African Archaeological Expedition, Kendu, Kisuma, Kenya
Date30 May 1935
DescriptionBoswell protests to Leakey over a charge of bad faith made in a document marked 'not for publication' - Boswell cannot therefore reply to it. He invites Leakey to search his memory for his mistake and asks him to either withdraw the charge, or make it in a public journal. Boswell is sorry that Leakey has introduced personal and ethical questions into the discussion. Boswell was careful not to do this in his letter to 'Nature' which was written in consideration of Leakey. Many things were left unsaid. Boswell asks that Leakey should think quietly before writing anything else.
