Date: 7.1.35. Place: Trobriand Islands. A typed letter in French is from Raphael Brudo, a pearl trader in the Trobriand Islands, to Princess Marie Bonaparte (styled Princess George in the English usage due to her marriage to Prince George of Greece and Denmark), a descendant of Napoleon and renowned psychoanalyst of the early 20th century. They are presumably connected through Malinowski, who met Bonaparte in 1932 in Saint-Tropez, and whom Brudo mentions in the letter. Writing in rather florid prose, Brudo compares himself to a child who performs in order to receive praise. He refers to notes about Trobriand life that he has sent to Bonaparte, particularly one about Trobriand sexual habits. He promises to send photos, and ends with best wishes to Bonaparte's husband and daughter.
