Dr. W. S. Newlon, Oswego, Kansas.  Dec. 17/88.

"With regard to the stone adze or hoe, I beg to say, that, like the other shell-eating Indians of our streams, it came from the [[underlined]]Champlain[[/underlined]] Beds where most of these relics are found.  x   x  They are always found in that age deposit.  x   x  Waiting for quite a while to see the farmer of whom I got the flint hoe or adze, he tells me it was ploughed up on an [[underlined]]old[[/underlined]] Indian townsite."
