- Abstract / Summary
- In a two-page, typewritten letter under the letterhead of the University of Sydney, Australia, Raymond Firth gives concrete details of a research opportunity for Fortune and Margaret Mead among the Ungarinyin aborigines of western Australia, which he says 'will be waiting for you when you are ready.' He includes travel information and some background on the culture. Firth also notes that he will be leaving for the London School of Economics soon, and all but offers Fortune the chance to be his replacement at Sydney, at least for a year. He ends with mention of money owed for certain arrangements. A written note at the top indicates this letter was 'Xeroxed.'
