The old man has been here several times asking about you and Miss Fletcher. He was sick one time and when I saw him in his lodge he said, "tell them that I may die - my sacred bundle the sacred ^buffalo head they can have if they care to have it." I told him that he was not very sick and not to think of such a thing yet. He is now well. I will send you his picture soon. I am still in this bank and like it.
