TitleLetter, Louis Leakey, the East African Archaeological Expedition, to Percy George Hamnall Boswell
Date10 March 1935
DescriptionThanks Boswell for his letter. Milford has written and the book has been recalled for correction. Expedition work is proceeding but with difficulty because of the rains. Asks if Boswell could see Charles Tate Regan about the publication of the Oldoway [Olduvai] fossils and notes that Hopwood has made a preposterous suggestion regarding this. Hopwood proposed that Leakey should sell last season's Miocene fossils to the British Museum in order to cover the publication costs. These are Leakey's private property and are being worked on at Cambridge. Leakey sends Hopwood's and Tate Regan's letters for Boswell to read and return. Gives Thomas Cook's prices for the delivery of Boswell's specimens.
