ALP Cameron to Howitt 14 August 1883

Transcription - Page 2

I have read Mr Fraser's essay but did
not care much for it; it appeared to
me that a criticism, l once read on
a certain work would apply to it.
That it contained much that was new
and much that was true but un-
fortunately that which was true was
not new and that which was new was
not true. I have not been able to
trace anything semitic in their origin.
However any adverse criticism comes
with a with a very bad [with - crossed out] grace from a defeated
competitor.

I think the table of contents you
have arranged would be excellent. I may
mention that in the names of some of the
tribes there may be some mistakes because their
neighbours do not always call each other by
the same name that a Tribe calls itself.
I am
Dear Sir
Yours Faithfully
