TitleCopy letter, Percy George Hamnall Boswell, to Louis S.B. Leakey, Steen Cottage, Great Munden, Ware, Hertfordshire
Date1 May 1936
DescriptionBoswell would certainly support Leakey's application for a Publication Grant from the Royal Society in aid of his account of culture sequences at Oldoway. He has already paid several tributes to the value of Leakey's work in this respect and has not changed his views. Leakey can use this letter with Professor Seward or in any other way. It is important that a detailed account of the Oldoway succession is published since no other is so complete in palaeolithic industries. However he cannot write an introduction. He is overworked and in arrears. His medical advice is to do less, not more.
