- Abstract / Summary
- Date: 29.6.18. Place: Omarakana (Kiriwina). Informant: Tokuluba'kiki. A passage in the Trobriand language, untranslated and numbered J269, defines the related terms 'Luba,' 'Valuba' and 'Kayvaluba,' the last of which is apparently a kind of relic of the dead. The information is written on the back of reused stationery, consisting of a partial, handwritten letter dated 15.8.19 to Elsie Malinowski, possibly from her father, chemist David Orme Masson. It discusses friends and family and the writer's attendance at scientific conferences.
