Letter from Joseph Barnard Davis to Brian Houghton Hodgson, 11 April 1859. Davis apologies for not replying sooner. They have come to the country for a few days to try to help relieve Mrs Davis' spasms of the stomach. He writes about collecting ethnological data and will go to the British Museum to see some of the heads. He had seen Schlginhbeit's casts when they were exhibited by Colonel Sykes. Davis writes of a letter he has received from a friend in the Sandwich Isles who is a geologist and a little of an ethnologist. Davis continues with more ethnological discussion. Handwritten, 4 sides with accompanying envelope, dated 11 April 1859.
