| Abstract | Received letter of January 13 and February 9. Thanks Boas for the gifts to his family, especially the eyeglasses. Would also like some writing tablets and envelopes and pencil lead. Trying to "correct the stories in the Book which you told me to do and I find lots of mistakes in it. For I see that I got to go all through the book to do it rightly. Some times I got to write some other story that belong to it to explain the meaning of it." Hopes that the result of Boas's meeting with the governor will be positive for Indians. Has not seen AwaxlagElas since Boas's visit, after which AwaxlagElas broke his hip. People there glad that Boas kept his promise. Glad that Boas saw Mrs. Cook, though her Kwagu'ł is "short." Sending pages 4834-4897. Has not found out who started the q!ap!ekw in ts!ets!ega and how the walasaxaakw dances disappeared. Is waiting for Charles Wilson's walasaxaakw to begin so he can write down the words of the songs. Will continue trying to correct stories from book. | ||
