John visited Fred Tebbutt as his home in Surrey in 1981 in order to get some background information on Lethbridge, especially in the area of extrasensory perception. John's one-page note is pasted to the front pastedown of the box of letters included with the lot. Lethbridge was a specialist in Anglo-Saxon archaeology, serving as Honorary Keeper of Anglo-Saxon Antiquities at the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology from 1923 to 1957. He wrote 24 books on various subjects, becoming particularly well-known for his advocacy of dowsing. In 1957 Lethbridge left Cambridge and moved with his wife Mina to Branscombe, Devon. He devoted himself to researching paranormal phenomena, publishing a string of popular books. His research included the use of pendulums for dowsing, the witch-cult hypothesis of Margaret Murray, articulated the Stone Tape theory as an exploration for ghost sightings, and argued that as extraterrestrial species were involved in shaping human evolution. Often derided and ignored by the academic establishment, Lethbridge attracted a cult following, and his work was posthumously championed by esotericists like Colin Wilson and Julian Cope.
