^[[Return Dr Hale's paper]]

[[?]] Canada,
August 18, 1896

My dear Miss Fletcher,

I have pleasure in sending you herewith my paper on Indian [[?Wampum]] Records. By the Preliminary Programme of Section H, which has just reached me, I see that you are well supplied with papers on interesting subjects, from excellent sources, and that you have considerately kept a place for me in your second day. If you should be overcrowded with papers, I shall be quite satisfied to have mine "read by title," or by abstract, rather than that any one who is present to read his own paper should be deprived of the opportunity. Kindly hand the abstract, which I enclose, to Prof. Putnam at the proper time; and be so
