Dear Sir
I am glad to inform you that on reconsideration Prof. Tylor agrees with me in thinking that in the circumstances the idea of compressing or abridging your book by the omission of some details cannot be entertained. Macmillan also entirely approves of my refusal (which was absolute) to accede to the proposal. So all is right. As you will have gathered from my letter, far from wishing the book shortened, I should like to see it lengthened by the addition of more materials, if you have them.
Yours sincerely
J.G. Frazer.
