Cumberland Lodge, Kew, Surrey. Dated June-November, 1909 - Five letters primarily concerning the sending of proofs of his book ['Castes and Tribes of Southern India'?]; in the letter of 25 June he writes that he has been made a companion of the Indian Empire, and enjoyed his visit to Trinity 'except the Trinity clock at night'; in the letter of 4 July he suggests it should be a punishable offence for census officers to publish without getting their botanical synonyms right; in the letter of 9 November he writes that he will be staying with [A. C.] Haddon to lecture at the Anthropological Club.
