Seven pages, mostly typed with a written introduction and annotations, contain a transcription of a discussion among five or six parties -- identified only by initial but Malinowski presumably among them -- on the nature of culture as the central subject uniting many of the social sciences, as part of a seminar at Yale University. Topics include: the nature of race; primitive religion; distribution of wealth; family; and technological advancement. The title of the seminar is written on the back of the last page such that, when the packet of pages is folded in half, it stands at the top edge.

A 14-page manuscript, typed in French with occasional handwritten passages, is an account/diary of daily life in the Trobriand Islands by pearl trader Raphael Brudo, dated between Sept. 2 and 30 of 1934. This is apparently the account that Brudo composed at the request of Princess Marie Bonaparte, a descendant of Napoleon and renowned psychoanalyst of the early 20th century. Brudo describes his boat, his crew, and the natural beauty of the islands, then discusses: a chief that Bonaparte had asked about; native belief in magic; a missionary's love for a native woman, who left him for the sexual freedom of her own culture; a trip along the coastline, visiting other Europeans and traders in the islands; and descriptions of his own daily life.

Two typed pages, numbered 20 and 40 (20) with the label 'New p.' in green pencil on the first page, contain a discussion of the magical speeches of the Trobriand Islanders. The first page contains a long, central paragraph with a partial sentence set apart above and below. At the top of the paragraph, in the left margin, is the title 'Division V. Digression on the General Theory of Magical Language.' The passage acknowledges questions raised by a theoretical approach to magical speech, particularly having to do with dual strange yet intelligible nature of the speech the genesis of such words. It is edited in red, black and green pencil and accompanied by margin notes written in those same colors, and then crossed out. Two passages on the second page, also edited in green pencil, answer the questions posed.

An 11-page manuscript, typewritten in French with occasional hand-written notes, is an essay by pearl trader Raphael Brudo comparing native and white societies. Brudo, who considered himself an amateur ethnographer, may have written it for Princess Marie Bonaparte, a renowned psychoanalyst of the early 20th century and acquaintance of Malinowski's. Brudo notes the natives' ignorance of sexual biology and the role of men in pregnancy, and considers how that looks in white eyes. He praises Malinowski as having done the first - and final, definitive - work on Trobriand culture that no one could hope to match. And he then engages in a lengthy consideration of the differences between European and Trobriand culture; how Europeans must have appeared to the natives; the effect of one culture on the other, and the damage caused and danger posed by the Europeans; defends the Trobriand culture, particularly the sexual freedom for women, against the moral 'superiority' of the Europeans; and questions the right of Westerners to impose their values on the natives.

Four densely typed pages with torn corners contain a report on Kiriwinian trading expeditions to other Trobriand Islands and beyond, prepared for M.H. Moreton, Resident Magistrate of the South Eastern District, Papua, New Guinea. Malinowski offers a summary overview of the Kula trading cycle, noting that some voyages trade in usable goods and food, while others trade in symbolic wealth items. Described are: customs and practices of canoe preparation and launch; sailing; trading and relations with other villages; and departures and returns. The notes end with lists of trade items exported from and imported to Kiriwina. A title is handwritten on one corner of the back of the last page, such that it will be in the upper right corner when the entire package is folded.

Five pages, typed and handwritten, contain notes supporting a books section on the economics of the Trobriand Islanders, with discussion of production, labour, transport, ownership and exchange. The written content contains portions that are crossed out or underlined, sometimes in blue pencil, and is arranged in boxed sections on the pages. The information is apparently written on the backs of the typed pages -- but the content of the typed material is very similar, suggesting that one set of page faces may be transcriptions or revisions of the others.
