Description | With reference to Barcroft's statement at the Royal Society, Hadfield took his old friend General Squier to the soiree last night. He would bring the propsoed expedition to the attention of Ambrose Swasey, Chairman of the Deputation from America coming over for the Engineering Conference. He has been a generous donor to the Engineering Foundation and he might be interested. He was glad to hear from Dr. Martin that Barcroft had one generous offer, but might need a larger sum.
In a manuscript postscript, he notes that he has seen Barcroft and fears that his note went this morning. If Barcroft does not object they will wait to see what happens. |
