Exeter College, Cambridge - Thanks her for the Downie biography; has reviewed it for the 'Times Literary Supplement' but it has not been printed, but with paper shortages they shouldn't complain; is in 'great trouble': eldest son Jack [John Ranulph de la Haule Marett] was on HMS Glorious and is missing, hopes that means he is a prisoner; more certain that a nephew is a prisoner, and another has been badly wounded.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - Was invited to a 'rest' in Wales, but hears today that the house has lost all of its windows due to bombs; knows she has heard his son Jack was lost on H.M.S. Glorious, a sorrow that eclipses the loss of Jersey; his three sisters are cut off there, but Nora got away in time; is busy at Exeter, where they have lost dons and servants and he is back to some old duties of examining for scholarships, etc.

From the Rector, Exeter College, Oxford - Agrees that 'Totemism and Exogamy' must not be allowed to go out of print; has been working with Gair, the Reader in Anthropology at Edinburgh, who may be able to 'diffuse' copies to members of the Scottish Anthropological Society; is bringing out a book, and his son is as well.
