TitleLetter, Carlos Paton Blacker, General Secretary, the Eugenics Society, 69 Eccleston Square, London, to Percy George Hamnall Boswell, Imperial College of Science and Technology, Royal School of Mines
Date24 September 1936
DescriptionJulian Huxley had recently spoken with Boswell at the meeting of the British Association in Leicester about Louis S.B. Leakey. Leakey has applied for a studentship of a value of £250 per year, given by the Society on the subject of race-crossing. Leakey has said that Boswell will give him a testimonial, but he has not heard anything and supposes that it may have escaped his memory. Blacker asks if he would send the testimonial, or to Huxley, care of the Society. He apologises for the circuitous nature of the approach but Huxley is in the country and will not return until the day before the studentship is discussed
