Sydney, N.S.W. Australia - Dr George Brown suggested he write Frazer, to ask for help in writing the life of Lorimer Fison; he has many of Fison's letters and materials from Dr Brown, and asks for a contribution from Frazer about Fison's anthropological work and achievements; has been given a copy of his article in 'Folk-Lore' by Maria [Mary?] Fison; his own family has been connected with missionary work for the last fifty years, and his uncle William Fletcher was in Fiji, and his aunt Mrs William Fletcher is sister to Dr Brown's wife; is sending a copy of 'A Century in the Pacific' with a chapter written by himself on the works of Fison, Sir William MacGregor and Brown.

c/o 'Sydney Morning Herald' Office, Hunter St., Sydney - Thanks him for his answer, regrets that he cannot help with something on Lorimer Fison's ethnological work; is delighted with his offer to send Fison's letters; has finished writing 'The New Pacific - British Policy & German Aims' in which he had the assistance of Dr George Brown; it gives Lorimer Fison and Sir William MacGregor equal prominence.

Sydney - Has received his parcel with letters written by Lorimer Fison, will have copies made and the originals returned; his plans for Dr Fison's Life have been put on hold by a suggestion of Sir William MacGregor, who thinks it better to write a life of Dr George Brown, who is still alive and does not have the paper trail that Fison left.

Sydney - Thanks him again for the parcel with letters written by Lorimer Fison, is happy to have a generous amount of time in which to have copies made; had no idea how much Fison was indebted to Frazer for the relief of his last years, and to try so hard to have the relief continued for his widow.
