Y.M.C.A., Bombay. Dated 3.7.16 - Encloses a letter of a friend [A. H. Longhurst] whom he consulted about making enquiries [transcribed], is writing to [Sir John] Marshall, who came to see him about [David Brainard] Spooner's discoveries at Patna; thinks he will be returning in a months time as the Classical Department at Manchester needs him; his son Ralph has gone to war; is disappointed he can't do the research on the Todas for him; is interested in his ultimogeniture theory; wishes Frazer were with him. The letter from Longhurst to Moulton, dated 28th June, 1916 from Kotagiri, Nilgiris, offers information about the Todas and expresses interest in studying them in detail before the manners and customs change, as they have already begun to do; received pottery figures of buffaloes from Surgeon General Bannerman and his daughters; asks him to write Marshall, as he cannot take up the work unless so instructed by the Government.
