Mostyn House, Brooklands Avenue, Cambridge. Dated December 22nd 1909 - Bengalis don't marry any blood relations at all; hoped the list he sent might indicate some previous stage of classification; is ignorant of Hindu Law, but mentions that Kulin Brahmins marry only into a palti or corresponding family, resulting sometimes in polygamy; thanks him for the [anthropological] questions, wishes he had them when among the Assam Hill people, thinks E. [Edward] Stack would have done good work if he had had them then.
