^[[ Music as found in Certain [[N.A.?]] Indian Tribes]]

Miss A. C. Fletcher:

Dear Madame:

I take the liberty, in behalf of the World's Fair Auxiliary, y to invite you to give a paper on the Music of the Indians, in connection with the Congresses, which take place July 2 to 8. It is my idea to have a session devoted to this subject, and your paper, with one by Fillmore on the more purely scientific relations, and perhaps one by Krehbiel of the New York Tribune, on Indian Liturgies, which he seems to have picked up from the New York indians, will be the pieces de resistance.

I am not sure whether we shall have this session included in the work of the National Association of Music Teachers, or as an independent meeting of the Congresses-- in short a congress by itself.  Probabyl the latter.

Please send me the exact title of the paper you will make, and in order to save time make reply direct to me at address above. I am chairman of the programme committee of the Musical Congresses.

Very Respectfully,
[[signed] W.S.B. Mathews [[/signed]]

I took tea at Mr. Watson Gilder's home some time ago,and tried to find out about how long it would be before he would get around to the paper on Indian music, and also to make a point for Fillmore. But I did not find out much. I suppose it is really a very embarrassing question from month to month what to use. Even with my limited resources I find this true.
