Title | Copy letter from Archibald Geikie, to Mr H J Read, Colonial Office |
Date | 21 July 1905 |
Description | Harrison having left for his holiday, Read's letter to him about Professor Minchin's claim has been put into Geikie' hands. Has no recollection of anything being said to Minchin about a subsistence allowance to be given by the Uganda authorities and there is no trace of it in the memorandum of conditions which Geikie drafted and Minchin signed, and of which a copy is enclosed [not enclosed]. Thinks Minchin probably got the idea from his conversations with Colonel [David] Bruce, who told him that he had received a subsistence allowance from the Uganda people. |
