Sent from Wynfrid Lawrence Henry Duckworth
2 Mar 1899
Description:
‘Dear Sir,
Very many thanks for your very valuable paper on the reconstruction of stature of Prehistoric Races. Professor Macalister was speaking of it a few days ago and I have since been very anxious to see a copy. I should like to take this opportunity of mentioning that I have just received from Professor Windle a communication about some researches in which you are associated with him: as far as this school is concerned I will do as much as I can to aid in collecting data, though the bodies are so thoroughly dissected now that it is hard to ensure getting the limb bones entire and in a suitable condition for measuring: but I have no doubt something can be done in this matter to overcome the difficulty.
With renewed thanks.
Believe me,
Yours truly,
W.L.H. Duckworth.’
