| Description | Letter from Charles LAPWORTH, Duchess Road, Birmingham, to Thomas George Bonney, 20 Jan 1894. Re: Unable to attend the Government Grant Board and asks Bonney to pass on his apologies; knows nothing of Dr Forsyth Major's proposed expedition to Madagascar but would likely support his application as his research would be of importance to geology, geography and biology; comments on the other subject grant boards of the Royal Society; heaps praise on Bonney's book 'The History of our Planet'; thanks Bonney for copies of his papers on 'Gresley's rocks' [?"Specimens from the Permian Breccia of Leicestershire, collected by W S Greesley" (1892)] and lake excavation by glaciers, had a good time in Switzerland among the lakes and glaciers in the summer. |
