TitleLetter from H. E. Maude to Professor A. S. C. Ross
Extent1 item
Date1961
DescriptionLetter written from the Department of Pacific History, dated 28 October enclosing a copy of his manuscript Gazzetter of Pitcairn for Ross to compare with Moverley's work. Maude feels that there are some significant differences, 'This is rather surprising, but my entries were compiled on the spot, as I walked over every inch of the island, while I fancy that Moverley's were done at home by questioning the Islanders.' He also encloses maps of place names taken from Roy Sander's thesis, which he feels support his own work.
