Description

2 page typed manuscript. -- Letter from George B. Milner, SOAS, London University, to Capell. Refers to Capell's SPC Survey and his own work on Bilua (or Vekala) and reasons for delays in refining his work for publication. He is happy for Capell to comment on what is available. Comments on the use of glottochronology and lexicostatistics studies, the increasing dominance of linguistics fields by Americans and the difficulties experienced by the late J. R. Firth after his appointment to the first British Chair of Linguistics in 1944.
