Scope and content
St Keyne's, Cambridge. Dated 4 April 1909 - Continuing the discussion about an anthropological expedition to Western Australia, funds probably haven't been raised at the University of Liverpool, as Sir Robert [recte Rubert] Boyce and [John] Garstang are abroad; A. R. Brown would like to join the expedition, Frazer likes that he is interested in marriage and the classificatory system, as that is what he would like to learn most about; [Baldwin] Spencer would have to approve this, thinks that Spencer should lead, and [Francis] Gillen should go too.
