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.
