In a six-page letter written on his personal letterhead stationery, William F. Ogburn writes to Margaret Mead, interspersing ethnological musings with personal news. He talks about his study of recent social changes in the United States, having written some 2 million words. He hopes the newly elected President Roosevelt will be more receptive to its importance than his predecessor, Hoover. He also mentions Mead's recent work among the Omaha Indians in the U.S., thinking he might do followup work. He discusses conversations he's had about possible jobs for Mead and Reo Fortune at the University of North Carolina or Duke, but laments the 'blight' that the Depression has brought to American academia. Ogburn mentions having seen Mead's mother and sister Elizabeth at a conference, notes the talk of sociologist Stuart Rice's deep infatuation with Elizabeth, and talks about Rice's rising stature in his field. He closes with brief mentions of several colleagues and includes a post-script that a Barnard College woman had been sentenced to 10 days' labor for 'Communistic activities.' Though the pages lack the usual 'Xeroxed' notation, it is clear they are photocopies of smaller writing paper.

Thirteen pages, numbered 50 through 60, typewritten with occasional handwritten annotation, contain a discussion of the complex social interactions among the Trobriand Islanders as they fill their yam houses, possibly as part of a draft of 'Coral Gardens and Their Magic.' Malinowski imagines a system in which one could observe them, with each individual wearing a multicolored identity card indicating clan and other kinship relationships. The first paragraph is bracketed in red pencil, with a margin note reading, 'R.C.M! Cut! Trim! Geld! Circumcise!' The document is nearly identical to another one that was marked as being excluded from the book entirely.
