Parte de Papers of David Lockhart Robertson Lorimer and Emily Overend Lorimer

Letter from Emily Overend Lorimer to Sidney John Duly to thank him for his delightful and entertaining letter which had cheered David in his illness. She asks that he will write again and that Duly will keep his letters from Lorimer as he rarely writes with freedom to anyone. Lorimer had been ill for five weeks with fever but is now recovering. The people are friendly and of goodwill and happy to talk about themselves, so she is hopeful of maximum information in the time available. She writes that they were delighted that Bunny could go with Duly to South Africa and to thank her for the postcard from Liverpool. She also writes that 'Lock' may send his Introductions to the 2 volumes of Bu, Grammar and Texts. Written from Aliabad, Hunza.

Parte de Papers of David Lockhart Robertson Lorimer and Emily Overend Lorimer

Letter from David Lockhart Robertson Lorimer to Sidney John Duly in which he reacts to Duly's letter. He then writes that they left Srinagar on 12 June, travelling by water and road. They reached the Burzil Pass on the 15th but found it was still snow covered, so had to climb on foot for most of it. He writes that neither he or Emily usually climb so nothing short of a miracle, perhaps of will, produced this achievement. A few days later, lower down, they were in a heat wave. They reached Gilgit on 1st July and he became sick on the 5th. On 11th they journeyed to Scimitar. He continues to describe the area. Lorimer is sending with the letters a Preface and the Burushaski Grammar.
Lorimer writes on his views on writing something "marvellous". He asks Duly whether he thinks there would be any interest in samples of soil, silt and grain. He would presume not as there is no commercial interest. Lorimer thanks for the monograph on Marbles and comments upon it and responds to other news that Duly had sent. In a postscript he apologises for the quality of the paper. Sent from Gilgit. Handwritten, 5 pieces, 6 sides, dated 8 September 1934.
