Bereik en inhoud
Bella Vista, Carlow, Ireland - In the typed letter of 3 Aug., he writes that he is sending a note on the Njuwe tribe [not present], though it is light of information and they were hampered by the necessity of an interpreter. In the letter of 18 Aug., he thanks Frazer for the copy of Anthropological questions; found references to endogamous communities in 'Totemism and Exogamy' and in Westermarck, and will look up Briffault's book as Frazer suggests; is planning on studying anthropological subjects at Trinity College Dublin; allows him to send the Njuwe notes to 'Man'.
Accompanied by an envelope with a note in Frazer's hand, 'E. R. Shackleton 3d August 1930. Tharaka and Njuwe tribes, East Africa (Kenya)'.
