Letter from John Roscoe, Orvington Rectory, Thetford, to Robert Harrison, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society Notes that he requires £50 for packing and £350 for a substitute [for the anthropological expedition to Uganda]. Informs the Royal Society that he called in at the Colonial Office, but could not see Sir Herbert Read, who is in hospital in France with a broken leg. Instead, Roscoe reports speaking to Read's assistant, Mr Bottomley, who gave reassuring promises of warm sympathy and assistance from the Governors in Africa. 7 February 1919
