| Title | Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, the Royal Society, Burlington House, London, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Geikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 30 January 1905 |
| Description | Geikie thanks Larmor for reporting a conversation. The speaker was not well acquainted with the facts 'or had an axe to grind'. There has been only one medical officer in Uganda, Captain [Edward David Wilson] Greig. He was requested by the Indian Government, and arrived while [David] Bruce was still there. Bruce suggested that he should take charge of the station when Bruce left, and since then Greig has been sending Bruce letters, which have been forwarded to the Royal Society. Their work was published in the fourth Sleeping Sickness Report. Greig has just sent in a huge report which the Foreign Office has agreed to print. Colonel or Mrs. [Mary Elizabeth] Bruce will do the coloured drawings for it. Thus, there is no foundation to the charge that Greig has been exploited. Perhaps the speaker was jealous of the opportunity given to Greig. |
