| Abstract | Received letter of September 12 and two shawls sent as gifts. Has been to G̱usgimukw and gathered a collection from caves and graves with local help. Will be sending it soon. Went digging in bank of xwEtes village and found pieces of fighting stones. Also went to five graves and took out seven skulls. A local man helped but is charging too much for them, $2 per skull. To construct cases for sending collections, the price of lumber was high and nails difficult to obtain. Has not been to Gwatʼsinuxw̱ village yet, but will try to go. | ||
