Scope and content
Houghton, Huntington - Says he will be very happy if the Frazers could visit, and could take them on the river; he ran an experimental rationalist school and now has all his savings in a fruit farm, which he warns against; is very happy in that part of England; Frazer has done the biggest work since Darwin. Pages of the letter are numbered, but missing pages 5-6, or the last sheet is misnumbered; on them he thanks Frazer for a book; a landlady born c 1802 used to ornament her hearth and threshold with scrolls with a kind of rune inside, which 'kept bad things out'.
