University College, Ethnographical and Linguistic Survey of Burma, 2A Shan Rd., Rangoon, Burma - Writes 29 Mar. 1926 to ask for a letter of support for the survey, mentioning that A. C. Haddon and F. J. Richards have seen his work, has received a letter from Sir George Grierson, asks that he point out dearth of information from Burma; also asks for copies of Frazer's ethnological questionnaires. A typed letter of 21 June 1926 thanks him for his letter, says the questionnaires haven't arrived; a typed letter of 23 Jan. 1927 details the efforts being made to save the Survey, with Haddon writing to the India Office, the Council of the R.A.I. writing to the Burma Government, and Grierson consulting with Sir Denison Ross; he is writing to American colleges and research foundations to find a back up for funds.
