39 Harrington Road, Queen's Gate, S.W., London - Thanks him for his reply to his letter, declines to be the source of information about Yoosof and Zuleika; women are badly treated in the East, and some try to marry Western men so that they and not their family inherit their property; points out that stones are painted and annointed all over India; notices that the clothing of Egyptian cultivators is exactly the clothing of Indian cultivators today; notes that the statues at the British Museum make clear that trade must have been far more extensive than originally imagined.
