June 17- last year as I expect to get the Kaw wa-wau besides the six wa-xo-be degrees. I have found a new man to give me the non-hon-zhin-ga i-e-ta. It is said that he is good. There is another one of Saucy-Calf's band and he has half promised to sing for me. If I get all these then will I work for you next winter. I shall try very hard to get the Kaw wa-wau complete. The Osage will be fragmentary, like the nin-Liu-zhin-ga but I will do the best I can with it. I think I now see my way clear with the Osage rites and I can ask questions more intelligently. I hope that I shall get a letter from you this morning. It is kind of dreary to get no word. Affly, [[signature]] F. [[/signature]] June 17-
