19 Draycott Avenue, Chelsea S.W.3. - Thanks Frazer for his letter, refers to the reception of his own essay on thought transference; gives many examples of the spread of cultures from west to east on account of westerly prevailing winds; quotes a speech by Cetewayo, the King of the Zulus, recorded by John Dunn, which echoes Bede and oriental writings of 3,000 years ago, and notes Rider Haggard used the speech in 'King Solomon's Mines' without attribution.
