Description | Discusses Mr [Peter Jeffrey] Mackie's generous offer [of money to the Royal Society for an anthropological expedition to Uganda]. Discusses the chief reason of his visist, to talk to pastoral peoples, and where he will go (Uganda, Bahima, Baziba, Bayoro, and on the way to Uganda hopes to see something of the Masai, Kavirondo and Kikuyu tribes). Hopes to return home via the Nile. Thinks that the expenses for a year will come to around £1500 and lists a breakdown of this sum, discussing the cost of each part of the expedition. Hopes to secure two native helpers, a clerk and a photographer, in Uganda, and suggests two of his old pupils. Gives reasons why he does not want to delay the expedition until after the war. |
