Lake George, July 6th 1903.

My Dear Miss Fletcher,

The homes of the NW Coast Indians are the property of the men. Women can own homes only when they happen to occupy a man's portion what may happen when the family is on the verge of extinction. 

Excuse the paper & the pencil. I am on my way to Glen Falls, our nearest trade center, where we have to go whenever we are in need of anything [[?]].

We have two children affected with whooping cough. They are, however, getting on very well in this fresh air. I shall have to return to the city next week, however my oldest boy has had an attack of appendicitis. I must [[indigo?]] and gentian. We feel, of course, very uncomfortable with the prospect which, at best, spoils the poor boy's summer entirely. I hope to be able to take him back here about Aug. 1st.

Yours [[?]]

Have you any information regarding Mr [[Danan?]] [[?]] of what [[McGee?]] can tell us?
