Newnham College, Cambridge. Dated Wed. evening - Concerns African parallels to Balder: sends the German book about a man who could be killed with a '-stall' [not fully transcribed, perhaps gourd-stalk, cited in C. Velten's 'Schilderungen der Suaheli'], and notes that the passage about Liongo killed with a copper needle is in Steven's [recte Steere's] 'Swahili Tales'.
