Let me know fully what you are doing then I can suggest points to you so that you can make your research as full as possible.

In the proof that Mr. Gurley will send you will be, if I remember correctly, some of the Osage names.  If they are not there you will need to get all the names and clarify them as we did among the Omaha, get all the male & female names of a [[strikethrough]]gente[[/strikethrough]] sub-division of its zhugara, keeping the latter separate & not mixed with those of the group so that you can make a complete list, then we can check off all that appear in the Omaha & note any changes, & explain them.

It is most interesting work.

Did I tell you that I read Mr. Frazers great book just [[?]] published on Totemism & Exogony.  I wish I could talk over this book with you.  I do so miss you and wish I could be near you in this work, we have always worked together & that way have accomplished so much.  We will still work together in everything, will we not?
