Enclosed letter from Patrick Geddes, London, 26 October 1908.
Expresses disappointment regarding the low attendance rate for the meetings regarding the Statement of work of the Outlook Tower. Outlines the main points from the minutes of the meetings. Proposes the creation of a Business Committee and of a General Committee. Refers to the University Hall, Chelsea, and the support the scheme received from the University of London. Mentions the project for 'Chelsea a Collegiate City' and the meeting with the mayor, councilors and local citizens. Believes a similar support as the one in London should be given in Edinburgh for the Outlook Tower and the regeneration of the Royal Mile. (Pages are missing). -
