Scope and content
27, Pentland Terrace, Edinburgh - Has a fire myth, and will send either the verbatim account or a loose translation, as Frazer wishes; the myth is from the village of Moligilagi, concerning two women of the Lukwasisiga clan; cites C. G. Seligman's 'Melanesians'; is finding it difficult to book passage to the Canary Islands and will have to go to Liverpool to sort it out; wife and daughter are back from the nursing home and they are flourishing; the Polish situation is cleared up but there are other countries with troubles. Accompanied by the envelope.
