content: Edel's analysis of Kru kinship. Includes typewritten letters (apparently from Boas or Benedict) to Melville Herskovits discussing the style of kinship analysis contained in the report. Edel's informant was probably Thorgues Sie, whose manuscript "A Sketch of My Education Career" accompanies Edel's papers.
