Evelyn:
I saw your message but - obviously wrongly - assumed that more than one copy
of this would have survived in that country! I'll certainly post (tomorrow)
this duplicate copy to you at Sussex for sending on to Freetown.

Francis-
The Sierra Leone atlas would be very much welcomed at the University of
Sierra Leone in Freetown (see my e-mail of last week), particularly if the
RGS is willing to pay its postage to here. Which reminds me that I still
owe you £3.50 or so in postage for the last lot of maps you sent. I'll
send stamps to that value to you tomorrow.
Thanks!
Evelyn
