Letter from H E [Henry Enfield] Roscoe, Woodcote Lodge, West Horsley, Leatherhead, to J [Joseph] Larmor [Archibald] Geikie has told him that he and Larmor cannot come before Christmas. Larmor proposes to go to Algiers at that time and Roscoe recommends going to Biskra in the Sahara, sketching out a travel plan. Roscoe had stayed there for five weeks. Biskra is really Arab Africa, while Algiers is French. He would enjoy Tunis, the most interesting of African towns. He offers more information, saying that [Andrew Russell] Forsyth also knows about it. 3 December 1913
