anxious to see it but I shall have to put off opening it until I have shipped off the looms to Mr. Hodge and that will be some time today.

Last evening I secured from Tho-xe-zhin-ga in paraphrase the ritual of the conflict between night and day as given in a story of a combat between the great horned owl and the bird hawk. It is quite an interesting story and I will write it out soon altho it holds fast in my mind and I cannot forget it. I wish I could get the ritual itself. Possibly Na-re-she knows it and I will ask him.

Now I will have to go and mail this and then go to the carpenter's shop to make the box for the things I am to ship. Then I will have to write a letter to Mr. Hodge.

Will write again soon-

Ever affly,
