Public Library, Palmerston, Manawatu County, North Island, New Zealand. Dated 19/7/26 - Thanks him for the reference to his work in the Caroline Islands in his book 'The Belief in Immortality and the Worship of the Dead'; has sent Grafton Elliot Smith some ethnological and philological notes on the subject of Hindu-Malays and Indo-Chinese reaching Central and South American coasts; Sir Clements Markham thinks the work has merits; asks he mention the work to Macmillan & Co.

Xerox photocopies of over 240 letters, many of them of originals housed in other institutions. The letters are written by Frazer to multiple recipients with a few exceptions: eight are written by Lilly Frazer (to Miss Buckley, Sir Edmund Gosse, Bronisław Malinowski, and W. H. D. Rouse); one is from Henry Jackson to Frazer and five more are from others to others (two from Macmillan & Co. to Hermann Diels, one from Sir Francis Galton to Sir Clements Markham forwarding a letter from Frazer, one unrelated letter from John Sampson to Francis Jenkinson, and one memo from Otto Stapf to Sir David Prain). Five letters include covering letters from the institutions providing the copies. In addition, there are copies of a typescript draft of Frazer's article 'Our Debt to France', the draft of an address on the founding of the Frazer lectureships, and a translation of an article.
