Context (Production / use)
Copy of sacred book of the 'Pram' tribe of Patalung, near Singapore, copied for me by instructions of H.E. Phyasukhum in the hopes that it may throw light on their history when deciphered. (Appears to be mainly Siamese with a large percentage of Indian words. It is written in Siamese characters)
