Letter to Dr. John R. Williams, in full: “The Indian material arrived yesterday, just while my archaeological friend, Glenn Black, was in the office, and we had a great time looking them over and reading the very adequate explanations which you sent along. It was very thoughtful of you to send these things, and they will be given a place of honor in the little museum that we have out in the reconstructed Trading Post. Let us hope that in the not too distant future we shall have the pleasure of showing the old place to you.” In fine condition.
