Letter from Christopher Gimson to RAS Secretary, enquiring whether the Society will be interested in picking up the publication of Yimjao Singh’s book on the old Manipuri language again. He writes that attempts to publish the book in India have not been successful, and that G. H. Luce, late of Rangoon University, may be interested in this project.
