Your letter of the 29" came yesterday enclosing one from Mrs. Cushing. I am sorry that she is not ready to come to Washington because you need a companion. It is not good to be so entirely alone. You have Dora to take care of you but that is quite another thing. What I mean is you need someone to talk with and to be with you in a social way. I shall very shortly write to the Bureau for authority to come to Washington.

The transcribing of the songs will not be as hard as the Omaha and the Pawnee songs. I want you to do the work. I will not work you so hard, only half a day at a time.
