In a few minutes I shall be off with Culin for Housing  Yesterday we went out into the country to buy a wa po-h.  We got it but it was a scene full of pathos, bordering on the tragic.  I have written a description of the contents and will send with this a press copy if it [[takes?]].  It was a fine one and has one of the seven original pipes, two of which you have seen in my collection. I wish Holmes had let me go on with the rest.  But I am going to risk getting another one.  If Holmes does not want it Culin, I think, will take it off my hands.  Culin paid $100 for the one he got.  I will have to pay that much for the one I am negotiating for.  It has a fine old [[??]] with it and it and it may have one of the pipes.
