44 Carlos Street, Port of Spain, Trinidad B.W.I. - In the first letter, he encloses a letter [not present] he has submitted to 'Nature' about a perceived snub of Frazer by Malinowski in his article of 26 Feb. 1926. States he has been collecting survivals of superstitions and native customs in Trinidad. In the second letter he apologises for annoying Frazer, says 'Nature' has declined to print the letter but has sent it on to Malinowski, to his dismay. Explains Frazer's influence on him and discusses the nature of the work he has done in Trinidad.
