Lund - Thanks them for their interest in his book 'La confession des péchés'; before he left Italy, Malinowski asked for a copy of his book, but since then he has no news of him; as for Macmillan's offer to publish an English edition of 'La confession' he would be happy for them to do this, will send the first volume when he returns to Italy; the Congrès [of the International Association for the History of Religions] has completed its work and has chosen Berlin as the host city for the next conference in 1933.
