19 Southmoor Road, Oxford - Has read 'Adonis, Attis, Osiris' and as a former missionary in Turkey, shares that "Tammuz" is the Turkish name for July; many other customs described in the book are familiar, describes dervishes he witnessed, describes other rites that are surely pre-Christian in origin.
Accompanied by the envelope, on which Frazer has noted, 'Asia Minor superstitions, Dervishes, &c.'
