Dear Sir: --
I return herewith the letter which you sent to me and which was written by Dr. Carl Lumholtz. Dr. Lumholtz is at present in New York but will be back here very shortly. Instead of going to El Paso, he was called back to New York. He is an explorer whose residence among the cannibals of Australia subject has made him largely known to the reading world. He is very hopeful of the scientific world, and whose book on this subject has made him largely known to the reading world. He is very hopeful of the scientific results of his explorations in Northern Mexico, and his support comes from many of the best men in our country. The support of such expeditions is never abundant, as you probably know; but Dr. Lumholtz is a man of inveterate perseverance and has no doubt himself of succeeding. He is a man for whom everyone must entertain the very highest respect. He is a Norwegian, about thirty-five years of age. His book on the cannibals of Australia will doubtless interest you if it is within your reach; give you an adequate impression of the man.
Very truly yours,
Franklin [Maeveagh?]
