TitleLetter, John Solomon, Wageningen, to Professor [Percy George Hamnall] Boswell
Date13 June 1935
DescriptionThe material at his location is very interesting and it is certain that there is no Rhine or Meuse debris in England, giving reasons. There are many fine ridges in the landscape and sections show contorted deposits. Edelmann is struck by Slater's theory. Edelmann's assistant Baak is working on an enormous collection of North Sea sands collected by Borley of the British Fisheries Department. He has found epidote right down the Channel as far as Land's End and wants a sample from Slindon beach to see whether the straits of Dover existed in 100 foot terrace times. Baak wants to come on the British Association excursion in September and Solomon asks if it can be arranged. Edelmann is coming to England in August. Solomon is learning their quantitative methods and at the same time pointing out varieties of individual minerals and teaching them the prospecting pan. Tesch is putting him onto one of the survey men for North Holland. He may even be able to get to Denmark. He has yet to hear from the 1851 people about Uganda.
