TitleLetter, Herbert Spencer Harrison, the Royal Anthropological Instutute, 52 Upper Bedford Place, London, to Percy George Hamnall Boswell
Date31 October 1935
DescriptionBoswell's feeling abut the committee was the same as Harrison's, until he gathered that Leakey was anxious for an oppportunity to take his position to such a committee. Harrison saw him a few days ago and he seemed satisfied with setting out his position before a committee of the Royal Society. Council of the Royal Society will decide on the matter that day. Harrison has been anxious that if the Institute should start an enquiry, there should be no question of a court martial - that the willing agreement of Dr. Leakey should be secured. Boswell's suggestion of a meeting appeals to him and he is glad that he could count on Boswell to be present. His provisional committee will meet on Tuesday to consider Boswell's suggestions.
