Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor John Scott Burdon-Sanderson, Fellow of the Royal Society In reply to Burdon-Sanderson's note, the meeting yesterday mostly comprised discussing ways and means with the representative of the Colonial Office, who was not prepared with out reference to his chief, to concur in the expenditure contemplated by the Committee. Nothing was therefore definitely settled as to the man or men to be invited to go out to Africa, but Dr Michael Foster is going to address a letter to Chamberlain, with the views of the Committee. 29 July 1898
