High Elms, Farnborough R.S.O., Kent. Dated 11. Nov. 1901 and 16. Nov. 1901 - Writes with corrections to the second edition of 'The Golden Bough', specifically the distinction between magic and religion, which he had pointed out years before Sir A. Lyall and Mr [William] Jevons in his 'Origin of Civilisation'. In the letter of 16 Nov. he writes to clarify that he does not regard Fetichism as synonymous with magic, and is the opposite of religion.
