TitleLetter, Edward James Wayland, the Geological Survey of Uganda, P O Box 9, Entebbe to Percy George Hamnall Boswell
Date18 March 1935
DescriptionBoswell's letter of 6 March reached Wayland just after he had sent his own note by airmail. Understands that Boswell did not have an easy task upon his return, but congratulates him on the letter to 'Nature' concerning the East African Archaeological Expedition's findings. Wayland has not sent in a government report on "the Leakey business" and there have been no enquiries, for which he is thankful. Discusses Leakey's personal affairs and is very sorry to hear of them - he likes Mrs Leakey and is very concerned for Louis Leakey. Leakey is over-emotional, Wayland believes, but after a period of depression he is likely to "do his damndest to re-establish himself". Wayland gives news of local projects including the printing of geological maps of Eastern Africa. He is intent on getting the buildings of the Human Trypanosomiosis Institute, due to close, for the Geological Survey. Discusses his education and the possible award of a DSc but thinks his chances are remote. Young Way is settling in after. a period of being all at sea.
