Letter from [Sir Herbert] J. Reade, Colonial Office, Downing Street, to William Bate Hardy, Secretary of the Royal Society Notes that he has received the Royal Society's letter about the Mackie Anthropological Expedition to Central Africa under the Reverend John Roscoe. Informs them that the Colonial Office will now send the Governors of East Africa and the Uganda Protectorate copies of relevant correspondence and ask them to grant the facilities the Royal Society specifies [free train and steamer travel for Roscoe, and for his goods to be imported without custom duty]. Informs them that the Secretary of State feels that the Expedition will be useful to the Protectorate Administrations. 19 November 1919
