Scope and content

'Man in India', Ranchi (India) - In letter of 27 July 1932 he is ready to publish a volume on the Bhuiyas; is working on a comparative study of the ethnology of the Munda tribes of India and asks for advice on the manner of collecting data and presenting it. Four letters (one of them typed) concern his publications and contain requests for review copies of Frazer's latest books: on 4 April 1935 he tells Frazer he is sending 'The Hill Bhuiyas of Orissa', asks Frazer to bring it to the attention of Western anthropologists; on 27 June 1935 he wonders if he received the book and asks for a copy of 'Totemism and Exogamy'; on 22 April 1937 he tells Frazer he is sending a copy of his latest publication; on 21 Oct. 1937 he wonders if his book on the Kharia tribe reached him and asks for a copy of 'Totemica'.
