In a one-page, typed letter with postscript on the back, Margaret Mead replies to a letter from social psychologist Muzafer Sherif, who had asked her for references for an unnamed book chapter she wrote having to do with color perception and classification among native groups. Mead says she cannot keep references in her head when in the field, but points Sherif to people working in the field, particularly Otto Klineberg at Columbia University. She briefly describes her field technique and offers examples and a postscript anecdote from her current work with a Papuan mountain tribe. A note written at the top indicates this copy is 'Xeroxed.'
