Aldworth, Haslemere. Dated 25th September 1907 - Thanks him for the copy of anthropological questions; notes that 'in interrogating the wild man one's method must be the contrary to that which is employed in the legal cross-examination of a civilized witness ... he will reply in the first words that occur to him - the distinction between true and false is barely known to him'; notes that there is a debate about the type of trees mistletoe grows on in the 'Journal des Debats'.
