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.
