July 5th, 1904 Mr. F. W. Hodge, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. My dear Hodge:- I spoke to Saville about the codices that you mentioned in your letter of June 30th. He looked up a recent catalogue of Julius Platzmann, Leipzig, who gave the following prices: Codex Cortesianus, $20.00 Codex Peresianus, $20.00 Dresden Codex, $20.00 the same as you had it priced, but he prices the manuscript Troano at $30.00 instead of $15.00. I have not had a chance to see Brittin as yet but as soon as I do will let you know. I received a copy of the "Weather Folk-Lore" from the Government but have not heard from the Catholic Publishing House concerning "Ruydo Ensayo". I hope I may be able to pick up a translation of this interesting and valuable book. With kindest regards to Mrs. Hodge, and hoping that I may have the pleasure of going over the Cushing library catalogue in the near future, I am as ever, Warmly and sincerely yours, (G.H.P) P.S.- Have just looked over the Weather Folk-Lore book received from the Government, and find that it does not contain the Zuni notes.
