‘Dear Karl Pearson,

Herewith I return the bill, making my department responsible for £20 and thereby responsible for the Sudanese collection, concerning the membership[?] of which there is some doubt.

I shall go to your department after lunch today and sort[?] the material.

I have never studied the mode of development of the knee sesmoids, but will put someone to work on the problem and get first hand evidence. A priori it seems more likely that they are preformed in hyaline[?] cartilage: but I hope soon to provide a definite answer.

With kind regards.

Yours truly,

G. Elliot Smith.’

‘Dear Karl Pearson,

As I could not let any information about the cost of moving the anthropological material from Manchester I had to go up there and get an estimate myself. There are 250 cases and they would fill three of the largest size of vans. The estimate is £20 per van i.e. £60 in all.

Less than a third of the material is Sudanese and the ultimate destination of this is uncertain! but the rest I can give you outright. (I think we shall be able to keep half the Sudanese material and possibly the whole).

Can you suggest a scheme for dealing with the boxes[?].

Yours very truly,

G. Elliot Smith.’
