Letter, Arthur Tindall Hopwood, Department of Geology, British Museum (Natural History), to Louis Leakey, P O Box 40, Limura, Kenya Extended discussion of Leakey's information on the burial customs of the Masai people and of the significance of steppe lime in the Olduvai bed associated with Reck's fossil skeleton find. 'None of the Geologists with whom I have discussed it, from Reck on, have any doubt as to that meaning...no-one here now accepts the skeleton as truly Middle Pleistocene, or as anything else but recent...' Hopwood looks forward to seeing Leakey's fossils of African fauna from the beds. Hopwood enquires what progress Leakey has made with excavations at Apis Rocks. 3 October 1932
