| Title | Copy letter from William Bate Hardy, Secretary of the Royal Society, to Professor [Arthur] Keith |
| Date | 24 October 1919 |
| Description | Notes that Arthur Keith's letter put him in difficulty. Feels that the tone of the draft letter to be sent to the Colonial Office was too curt. Thought to wait a few weeks and then go to the Colonial Office himself and try to smooth things over, but is glad to hear that [Sir James] Frazer has already done this successfully. Explains that he is writing to Sir Herbert Reade and enclosing a letter to the Colonial Office, and will ask Reade for advice about whether the letter is put the right way. Encloses a letter from [John] Roscoe, and asks Keith to authorise the payment of a further sum to Roscoe's bank. |
