Dear Sir,

The objects from the Amazon and Indonesia, sent by you on August 1st., have been received here safely and in good order. We shall be very pleased to accept them as a gift from yourself and your sister to the Museum. There are an interesting series, particularly the stone axe from the Amazon, and the clay beater from Dorey and bird-shaped float.

The Keep wishes me to express his sincere thanks to you for the gift. An official acknowledgement will be sent to you after the next Trustees' Meeting, in October. I quite agree that the stone sculpture from Modjo-Pahit would be more in place here than in the Charterhouse School Museum.

Yours faithfully, | H. J. Braunholtz. [signature]
