An undated, hand-written page headed ''ad Analytic Table'' discusses the difference between ''primitve'' and ''developed'' languages, with Malinowski arguing that primitive languages are simpler and more vague, in support of a book on semantics and ethnolinguistics. It is written on the back of reused stationery, a partial, typed letter from Bob to Malinowski, mentioning a paper to be written and asking after his health. A written note at the bottom indicates it was signed by someone else, possibly Bob's wife, who offers news of the family.
