Letter from Sir Henry George Lyons to John David Griffith Davies, The Royal Society Encloses two draft letters to be written and posted. When the relevant information is obtained he will draft a letter to Treasury for Davies to review. [Professor] Winterbotham's casual reference to he and his colleagues [International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics] finances will risk innumerable questions from Treasury unless they receive a full clear statement of the whole position. 7 October 1939
