‘Dear Dr Usher,

I trust you have had a Merry Xmas etc.

I came across the following passage in an article. The Basutos of Basutoland by H.E. Mabille, publisher is the Trans. of the Brit. & S.A. Assoc for Advancement of Science Vol. iii 1905.

“Besides these principal clans there were many others, the ba Fakeng (among whom are recruited several of the leading councillors, and are remarkable for the number of albinos) the ba Khatla also used to be cannibal, etc.”

This seems to point to certain clans having more albinos among them than others.

Yours sincerely,

G.A. Turner.’

'Dear Prof. Karl Pearson,

I am sending by Mr Termple[?] Murrall a surgeon a tin containing

A. Some black skin shewing cicatrization marks, also a [sic] ear shewing ear marks.

B. A strip of Xanthism skin.

I sent both specimens to you as I thought it might be of use for comparison.

If you should hand the ear and the cicatrized skin over to the Anthropological Soc. please do not associate my name or the name of the W.N.L.Ass. with the specimens, it does not matter about the Xanthism specimen.

G.A. Turner.'

'Dear Prof. Pearson,

I should have answered your letter of Feb. 19th 1912, but have been too busy with this [emmission [sic]?] and other matters. I have received no further communication from the Anthropological Society, but I do not think they will publish it, there are too many illustrations, however I must let the matter drop until this rush of work is over. Maynard and I have put in a certain amount of work on the train[?] weights etc. I came across a case of Xanthism in the post mortem room yesterday. I took a sample of skin and scalp and will forward them to you by another medical man who is taking specimens for me to the Liverpool Medical Congress.

Yours sincerely,

G.A. Turner.'
