Pembroke College, Cambridge. Dated May 23, 1901 - Weil [recte R. A. Neil] sent on Frazer's question; while he does not do comparative grammar, he thinks the derivation of Naman from Ameretat is wrong; went to see [Anthony Ashley] Bevan and he referred him to the 'Encyclopaedia Biblica' that says Naman is Numman; distrusts [H.] Winckler, and thinks [F. C.] Andreas 'is capable of turning out a bad book in the realm of later Persian history'; suggests he try Prof. Cowell.

Strasburg, [Kallzg.?] 16 - Thanks him for his response to what he wrote to their mutual friend [Anthony?] Bevan; praises Frazer's work and plays down their minor disagreement; does not doubt that [Friedrich?] Andreas wrote a private letter in which he identified Omanos and Anadates with Haman and Hammedatha; Andreas has a habit of not finishing his work though he works on large projects; finds the link questionable, and that the names are likely a coincidence, notes the name of a Persian god cannot end in 'data'; asks if he has seen Edm. Doutte's essay 'Les Aïssaoua à Tlemcen' and 'Les marabouts'.
