- Abstract / Summary
- In a two-page, typed letter from Margaret Mead to William Fielding Ogburn, who had been her mentor at Columbia University, she discusses aspects of the Arapesh culture of New Guinea, especially parent-child relationships. She mentions that A. R. Radcliffe-Brown will soon be arriving at the University of Chicago, where Ogburn is head of the sociology department at the time of writing. A note at the top of the letter, written later, reads 'Xeroxed.'
