Clamart, 56 Rue de Sèvres - Asks for his opinion on his recent article on Totemism in the 'Revue de l'histoire des religions', deplores the 'mauvais foi' of [Jules] Toutain; sends proof of [Maurice] Delafosse's article on totemism in West Africa from REES ['Revue des études ethnographiques et sociologiques', corrected proof enclosed, as item 25a]; has lost his job as chief translator in the Dept. of Agriculture and discusses his job prospects; Salomon Reinach has been kind, but van Gennep's last paper may not have pleased him; discusses his Revue [REES] and how well it is doing.
