TitleCopy letter, [Percy George Hamnall Boswell], to Louis Leakey, Box 360, Nairobi, Kenya
Date10 October 1932
DescriptionBoswell explains his hurry in sending a copy of his letter to 'Nature' to Leakey and the circumstances of its composition. This followed Hopwood's paper at the Anthropological Institute where Watson and Elliott Smith were not satisfied by the evidence [for the antiquity of Oldoway man]. The 'Nature' paper was in time for the International Congress. Boswell answers Leakey's criticisms on the evidence of material from other beds. The Olduvai skeleton must remain in the 'suspense account'.
