TitleLetter, 'K.S.' [Kenneth Stuart Sandford], Merton Farm House, Eynsham, Oxford, to Percy George Hamnall Boswell
Date18 November 1936
DescriptionThe question he was trying to get asked was: the Royal Anthropological Institute have convened the Leakey committee again and they have sent a notice to Sandford as a member of the Cambridge party. He feels doubtful of accepting. From a geological point of view, their expert has said all that is necessary, although Sandford might have said a lot more. It would be a breach of good taste to do more. If other committees choose to meet, then the line taken by Boswell, Jones and himself would act as a corrective. After Leakey's recent efforts, 'quasi-scientific and domestic', he would prefer to give Leakey's affairs a wide berth. He asks for a private cue from Boswell.
