Mr George H. Pepper -
New York N.Y.

Dear Mr Pepper -
Last fall I addressed a query about the Clover collection of Pipes either to you or Mr Heye personally, I do not remember which - the lot was offered as a whole and containing much material not of interest to you I presume you passed it up -
Quite recently the owner at my solicitation has consented to divide it - sell separately that portion pertaining to the American Indian both Ancient & Modern good & bad. (latter confidential) there are some 50 Modern Indian specimens - 125 Ancient Pipes - (some questionable) some 75 N. W. Coast Eskimo etc. if you would be interested in these advise me & I will send you further details. his price I have not as yet be able to get scince he is like all collectors wants the other party to make that
Yours Truly
W. J. Seever.
