[[note in blue in top margin]] Copy all except this letter [[/note in blue in top margin]] Apr. 1889 Mr. G. Brown Goode Assistant Secretary Smiths. Inst. Dear Sir:- I herewith enclose my report for the month of April 1889. I would especially request your perusal of the few words I have ventured to offer concerning the disposition of the Indian foods, which involve the principle that a Curator should work for the welfare of the museum as a whole rather than for a fine display in his own department. Yours very truly R Hitchcock April 30/89 file
