Dear Dr. Barnard:-

     I was very glad to receive your letter of the 16th, but am sorry to say that we would probably not need your whole collection on account of duplication. For instance, in archeology we are well supplied with hematites, stone hoes, and cliff dweller material, but might need your Ozark stuff, the big cache, etc. Your ethnology seems better for our purposes, but I do not think we need any more baskets. Would you consider selling us certain lines of material - that is, let us say for example, all the ribbon work, all the shields, all the medicine bundles, all the Ozark stuff, but not the baskets, the hematites, nor the stone hoes? The latter, as you know, would be very salable elsewhere.

With many thanks for your interest in our work, and with our best regards, I remain

                   Yours sincerely, 




Dr. W. C. Barnard,
Seneca,
Missouri
