Scope and content
Letter from Christopher Gimson to RAS Secretary, returning the completed application form. He sends the Society a copy of ‘A Short History of Manipuri’ by Jhalajit Singh and writes that the author deserves encouragement, despite it being immature in many ways. He asks if the Society would prefer to work on linguistic or historical researches, and he feels that a more scholarly and critical approach to the ancient documents is an essential. With reply from Diana Crawford, RAS Secretary. Two letters, dated 7–12 May 1965.
