Letter, 1960, sent by E.T. Price, which accompanied two Welsh Folk Museum Answer books submitted by him and containing detialed notes on customs associated with death and burial as remembered by him.

Answer Books were sent out by the Welsh Folk Museum in 1958 to individuals across Wales as a way of collecting and documenting information on aspects of folk culture in their areas, including agriculture, crafts, food, customs and dialects. The responses were hand-written in the books. The Answer Books had a similar purpose to the earlier questionnaires sent out in 1937.
