| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | Has questions about collection sent a few month earlier. Notes discrepancies between description of a mask described by Boas in "The Social Organization and Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians" as a "fool-dancer's mask" but described by Hunt as that of Gepaxoas, a GÌħusgimukw ancestor. Expresses understanding that some items are reproductions of implements no longer used. However, the stone head appears to not be an old specimen, but rather a new one. Is concerned that items purported to be old are fraudulently being sold to Hunt. Advises to continue collecting wood carving, but to refrain from collecting "specimens belonging to the dances" until Boas's visit in the spring. | ||
