19 Kensington Park Road, W.11. - It is very good of Trevelyan to take an interest in the publication of the Polish book;is glad he mentioned it to Mr Unwin. She has consulted Miss [Maria] Czaplicka, a Polish anthropologist who has 'a good deal of influence with her compatriots', has published several books, and is very energetic, who will ask the Polish Committee if there is any chance of support. This would mean some financial guarantee for the publisher; Allen & Unwin have been mentioned, or Blackwell may be approached again. Czapickla was also going to see if [Joseph] Conrad could be interested in writing an introduction. Marie Busch may eventually be glad of an introduction to Stanley Unwin; meanwhile will let Czaplicka know what Trevelyan says. If it cannot be published in book form, the "Polish Review" may put it out as a serial, but this would not bring it to the attention of the British public in the same way. Asks Trevelyan to let he know if he is ever in her neighbourhood, as she would love him to take a meal with her. Was very nice to see Bessie last week.
Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford - Concerning his question of junior-right in inheritance, she has looked at a book by D. Y. Samokvasoff on the code of customary law among the Aborigines of Siberia (Warsaw, 1876) and found nothing; also looked at E. I. Yakushkin, on customary law among the Aborigines of Russia, 4 vols., and found nothing, but might find more at another time on a visit to London to consult the books.
Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford - Results on further research on his question of junior-right in inheritance, she has looked at works by Andreevsky, Y. Yakushkin, and D. Y. Samokvasov, and recommends M. M. Kovalevsky's 'Modern Customs & Ancient Laws'.
