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
