Description | States that he had a talk with [Arthur] Keith about the Mackie expedition, and is glad Prain is keen on it, and is the Treasurer. Thinks that the idea to invite [Peter Jeffrey] Mackie to the meeting [on 10 March] was an excellent one, and relates his accidental meeting of Mackie in the street. Thinks that Mackie should not be asked directly for another large subsidy, but that if the case is put fully before him he would probably volunteer to give more to continue the expedition. Arranges to meet in person before the meeting. |
