Date: 20.3.34. Twelve typed pages contain a copy of a criticism of the work of Edward Sapir by Malinowski - or really, as he notes, a criticism of grammatical formalism as represented by Sapir and others such as Otto Jespersen. This version includes substantially greater written annotation than in a previous document. The text is written on the back of reused stationery, such as a list of advanced degree candidates at an unspecified university or documents probably related to the British Social Hygiene Council. As with the other version, some pages appear to have been fastened together from parts of others.

Two typed pages, numbered 40 and 41, contain the partial text of a book or essay, probably a work on the theoretical study of language. Page 41 is labeled in green pencil, 'discards from MFi.' indicating its relation to previous documents about a Magical Formulae Introduction. Initial lines include words and topics associated with the Trobriand Islanders. The bulk of the text then discusses the anthropological meaning of certain kinds of speech, such as magic spells and incantations. Both pages are crossed out with a large X in green pencil. The original text includes underlining, corrections and margin notes in black, red, blue or purple pencil or pen; most margin notes are individually crossed out in a faded, indeterminate color.

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.

A page, typed with written annotation in black, blue and red pencil, contains plans for a work by Malinowski, possibly a theory of language. He specifically seeks to rebut a school of thought - represented by Edward Sapir, Otto Jespersen and Alan H. Gardiner - that conceives of language as a means of communicating 'thought capsules. He seeks to support his argument with examples from 'The Meaning of Meaning' by Ogden and Richards and plans to stress a contextual, pragmatic, anthropological model of language. Two of the five paragraphs are numbered 1 and 2 in red ink; the second has the number 686 typed, then stricken out. The notes are typed on the back of reused stationery, a partial list of advanced-degree candidates at an unspecified university.
