Homefield, Send, Surrey - In her letter of 28 Oct. she shares that her son [Arnold Paice?], one of the first white settlers in Kenya, states that the Kikuyu do not keep pigs or sacrifice them, as mentioned in 'Folk-Lore in the Old Testament', and wonders if the reference from C. W. Hobley is correct; she thanks him for his reply on 10 November.

Second letter accompanied by the envelope.

Chale, High View Road, Sidcup - Re: Lady Frazer's question about the Kikuyu sacrificing pigs, Mrs Paice's son [Arnold Paice?] is right, they do not, as they have none to sacrifice; congratulates him on the completion of the 'Fasti', will go look up Kikuyu fertility customs; could he influence the Government to subsidize a study of the North and South Kavirondo people: they are changing quickly and a wealth of valuable material will soon disappear.
