Dear Dr. Mer.^iam,

It is too bad to hn so afflicted as you

have been this winter. ]t has been a most tryinf, winter to us a3 1,
•and we shall be ^lad 'Hhen it is o^e.r. The^e seems to be some chance
now that we have had the wors* of i t, i id you ever know such weather

as it hns been.

] rec£feved the pamphlet all ^J g' t and took it o-

ver t o my f rie ^id in Brooklyn who is a member of the Adironr^ack lea-
gue and is to f^i^e us a paper at the Torrey Club on the flora of
the tract and show her phot c^^raphs, that s>a has taken of the ve-
getation. -» love those moimtains, and would like to spend next
summer there again. ] will look up the reference that you f^ive n^.
Mr. Brit ton is goin^; up to Albany with his col^'ection of Spruces

y)

to have it out with trot ^ |eck, as he does not agree with Sargent •s
last treatment of them in thft Syl^^a. now difficulti it is to find
out the truth about them. "T

With kindes* ret^nrds to your fan ily and
all your friends whom ] have met, believe mft yours 'nily,

Ify Dear Dr. Merriam:

Jaos 19, 1895

I woiad ask if you will not write the reriew of the
LIST OP PTERIDOPHYTA AND SPERMATOPHYTA OP NORTHEASTERN NORTH
AMERICA published for the Botanical Club A* k. A# S. in Memoirs
Torrey Club, for •Science*. I hare Just sent Coville 10 copies and
he will give you one I am sure

I ask this, because th# principles of nomenclature adopted are
practically the same as those of the A« 0. U« and in this review
you can tell us the measure of success obtained in fixing names
in Vertebrate Zoology and if you ar© inclined, cosanend the move-
ment of the botanists. I have consulted Cattell about this, and he
entirely approves my asking you

There are a few fellows standing out for no principles at all.
I presume you had that amusement after your "Code" was Issued. If
you can authoritatively represent that the "Code* has fulfilled its
mission it will be a great aid in downing opposition to the present

movement*

I am asking you to do this also becuase prefty nearly all the

prominent Systematic Botanists have been contrlbutiors to this

•List* or members of the Committee having it in charge, and a

review by a zoologist will enqphaclze the unifying of American

animal and plant nomenclature, I will send you a bound copy for

Keeps after a little* MeanwhUe, ^f we oan get your review into

next week's "Science* it will be immense. ,J id^^y J ^^i^^ri 1 >

Dear Sir:

Unfortiinately I forgot to inclose the skiill, lut will send it to you
tomorrow. It was taken in the I-ata^-onia mountains. I do not find any
meHtion of it made ly Dr. Meams in his Boundary Survey report. I send
it to you for examination ror the reason 1 never saw so dark a form. All
those taken on the desert have teen Dale al^.ost t'^ whiteness. It had

fallen into a well,ax3t r/as taken alive and sent to me. riltof ether it was
cagefit atout a month and when killed was vety fat. I make this explanation
to account for the oily condition of the skin.

Daar Er* Marriman,

Your favor of tha 11^ th. inatant concarning of tha

naiBa Baboquivari was racaivad in dua tlina. Tha propar eralling of
the nana is Baboquivari. It is undoubtedly of Papago origin^ Tha
PiiaaB ara locatad about 100 milae, almost directly north- although it
is alinoBt as Certain that tha Papagos are thamsalvas of Pima origin.

Dr. Carl Lumholtz in "New Trails^ in Mexico," says of tha
name on page 31, ''Baboquivari being a^orruption of the Papago name
Vakivolik, meaning mountain (Vav) narrow about the middle (Kivolik).

At the State University hepe there is an educated Papago
froE whom I occasBionally receive information as to the meaning of
certain names. On receipt of your letter I wrote Prof. R. H. Forbes,
of the University, and asked him to interview the said Papago^

I inclose herewith his letter in reply.

At the sam.e time I also wrote to Dr. Leeds at Indian Oasis,
an Indian town situ-^te in the Valley Just west of Baboquivari Peak,
and asked him to interview tha Indian agent at that place and also
Joa Menager, of whom Prof. Forbes makes mention. Leeds is the GovH
physician at Indian Oasis, but as mail only reaches there occasiorally
I have not yet heard from him. As the names Babocomari, Cababi and
Ccircbabi appear to be kimdred words I have been trying to get an ex-
planation of them and probabjty will when I hear from Leeds. I will
than write to you again. Am always pleased to hear from you. Do not
hesitate to write to me for any information that I can glie you.

Yours very truly, / ^ v

Mr, Herbert Brown,

lly dear Mr. Brown:

The proper spelling of the word
Baboquivari, as we now have it, is "Babojjuivari", being
undoii^edly the Spanish corruption oT^^ie'Tapago.

Turning to my notes, I find under date of
August 14th, 1910, at Indian Oasis, the following deriva-
tion worked out with the help of Hr. Jos, Menager, who
speaks Papago faiailiarly, and v/ho seemed to me to be
ccr.petent and accurate in matters relating to the Papago
language. He says that the first part of the word,

B ab 0 means rocks, associated with the idea of altitude,
tnerefore, high rocks, and that quivari means small around
the middle, referring to the over -hanging aspect of the
nortrieast corner of the peak when seen from the northwest.
I do not think that the first part of the v/ord means
mountain at all, inasmuch as the v/ord for mountain in
Papago is Toak; for instance, v/e have ftuijo-toak, Oqui-toak,
etc., in both of which, and other similiar words, Toak means
mountain.

The educated Indian v/orking for us, to v^hom you
refer, has been civilized to the point where he is unreliable
on questions relating to his own language. Mr. Jos. Menager,
Indian Oasis, Post Office Tucaon, Arizona, would, however,
give you excellent opinions concerning the derivation of the
words Babocomari, Cababi and Comobabi, concerning which I
might guess but not very reliably.

Very truly yours.

Director.

SoiDetiine when you are in San Francisco I want very

with you if you would lixe to see tnem. I believe he wants
to sell them, but I Know nothing of their value or his price.

I have had a lady woricing with me for the past fif-
teen years who has spent a nunioer of years studying the Natu-
ral sciences in the University cf California because of her
love for this field and her desire to enjoy the outdoors more.
She is in the neighborhood of forty- five, accustomed to rough-
ing it out-of-doors, understands horses and something of pacK-
ing, can drive an automobile and uses a typewriter, and could
very easily be a very useful person to have along on a collect-

If tne opportunity should present itself wnere such
a person could be of use to you, I would appreciate it very
much if you would consider lirs. Ynes Mexla.

V»6shington, D. C*

Dear Doctor Merriam;

I am writing to you at the suggestion of
our mutual friendjlir • Frsncis P.if'arquhar of San ?raiiCisoo,
to ask you what is the true meaning of Yuba - this name
appearing on our maps as Yuba ^iver aid Yuba County.

By way of explanation I will say that in
ray handbook on "California ManBs'^ published in 1934 by
the Aroerican '^'rust Company of San Francisco I used the
explanation given by NelJLe Van de &rift Sanchez in "Spanish
and Indian Place liames of California" to the efreot that,
first the early iipanish explorers found wild grapes growing
along the Yulira river and so frcm "uvas silvestrisiwild

f rapes" called this the Uva ^iver plater the Uba, later the
uba Hiver* Nbv^^..vJ^.

Then, finding this explanation seriously
questioned, I dropped it, end so simply said that the
name Yuba Hiver comes from a Maidu Indian name. ( This
is so stated in my revised edition: "Colorful California

names'* •

More recently, I am told that "uba'^ was^
the Maidu Indian name for "wild grape", -and still more ^.
recently, Mr. J'arqaher says that this is quite doubtful
and to write you. So I shall appreciate whatever enlight-
enment you can give me# I intend to use the name in a
guidebook of stations and physical features along the line
of the ••estem Pacific. I also enclose a little pamphlet
entitled "Little Stories along the line of the Western
Pacific xiailroad " about to be issued.

I am.

Thanking you now for the favor I asi asking,

Sincer ely>y our s.

type. It can readily be seen that such statements would
lead scientists to discredit other items.

We are indeed grateful for your interest and valuable
comments.

Sincerely yours,

H. C* Bryant,
Assistant Director.

My dear Dr. Merriam:

A library of autographed photographs of
leading scientists of the world is being developed
in the Buffalo Museum of Science* This collection
will be maintained in the Research Library of the
institution which is devoted to scientific research
and education.

A constant need for material of this nature
for exhibition and educational purposes makes such a
collection most desirable* The total attendance last
year was over six hundred thousand* The niimber of
registered students in the Educational Department was
865 and visiting classes from the public schools

totaled 46,478.

«

The value of the photographic library will
depend largely on its completeness and we will be most
gratefxxl if you will supply us with an autographed
photograph of yourself.

Very truly yours

it in ray classes in onparative anatony.

Ko.3 gives a radiograph of the white rat. The segraentation of
the stern^jui is quite clearly shown. The bones of the wrist, shoulder
girdle, and pelvic girdle are qiiite distinct.

Ko.3_a is of the oanie white rat, after injection with chroiae yel-
low. The tail is held in place by a piece of coal, below v/hich is a
hey. I think that the slide laay be said to show that it is qi:ite pos-
sible for one to have a reasonably fair understandi^ig of the circula-
tory syston of an animal wit^.out making a dissection, and without in-
juring the animal for other purposes of study.

No. 4 is a radiograph of a stiu^fed r>onv. In the tarsus you will
notice a roi^.nd body, w'lich proved to be a shot. hidden away beneath the

My Dear Dr. Mem am:

President Jesup has asked me to ascertain the general cost of pub-
lication in other institutions, and I am therefore taking the liberty of at-king you a
few questions in regard to the isplendid reports of the Harriman Expedition, trusting
that you will feel perfectly free to aecline to answer if you think that it will be in-
advij^able for the details of this work to be known by others.

1. Has Mr. Harriman provided a fund for publication, or is the entire coi^t of
thi>' series of articles assumecl by the publij:hers?

2. To what extent does the Wejshington Academy of Sciences give assistance?

3. When sections of the work have been given to specialists, what is the rate
of compensation?

4. Would it be possible for you to give me the approximate cost of publication,
on a per-page basis,fafter the copy has been prepared, a-nd of course exclusive of il-

lusbrationsj^

5. To what extent do the receipts from i:ales pay for the cost of publication?

I t«.ke it foi granted that if you are good enough to give the info rnic'.t ion on
thene points, you n^ll do so in genere-l ternn, and not exhaust your time in attempting
to be exact in youi steteraent.s. It is only tl^iiK)st genere.l information that we dei:ire.

Thenking you in advance, I am

Very .:incerely yours,

Director.

My dear Dr, Merriam: -

I have been advised on credible authority that there are
od reasons for believing that many of the Regents of the Smithson-
ian Institution are favorably disposed to your election to the posi-
tion made vacant by the death of Professor Langley.

I want you to know how glad I would be were you to receive
this appointment, and that I feel you are eminently fitted for the
position. If even in a remote way I may be of any service to you,
will you not be good enough to so advise me?

Trusting that you axe having a pleasant and profitable
season, and with kind regards to all the members of your party, I

am.

Very cordially yours.

My dear Dr. Merriaini: -

On the afternoon of December 29, among other exercises
connected with the meeting of the varioup; scientific org3^ni3a^ions
in New Yor> during "Convocation lYeek," there will be, at tha Amarl-
can Museum of Natural History, an unveiling of ten marble bus-bs of
those who have attained eminence because of their contributions to
Americaui science.

It is President Jesup^s desire that at the time of tlie
unveiling a few v;ords should bo spoken by those who are ospeciaaiy
fitted to comment on the life and work of the pioneers of Aaerican
science who, it is adjudged, are entitled to recognition in this

Walhalla.

It would be a source of great satisfaction to the Presi-

dent, and of pleasure to those attending the scientific nootin^s.

if you, who are so well acquainted with the work of John
Audubon, could find it possible to be with us at this time and
make some mention of the debt that science atnd education owe to

him.

Our program at present is somewhat provisional, but 3»Lr.
J. Pierpont Morgan has stated that he will preside; a letter of
presentation from Mr. Morris K. Jesup will be read, and Mr. Josepii
H. Choate, for the Board of Trustees, will accept Mr. Jesup^s s:if^,
There will then bo a series of very brief addresses, each of about

-2-

five or six ninutes in length, as follows;

Benjamin Franlclin,
Alexander von Humboldt,
John Ja!!ies Audubon,
John Torrey,
Joseph fienry^

Dr. S. Weir Mitchell,

The T?awn of the World, It is the most inviting thing

of its kind that I have ever seen and it assures me of
many happy hours.

Is it entirely out of place for me to ask if it
has ever occurred to you that your Collection of Basketry
ought ultimately to come to the American Museum? If at
ajiy time you f'^el inclined to make arrangements for its
custody in perpetuity, I hope that you will not forget
to consider certain advantages that might result if the
Trustees of this institution should be the custodians.

We have been making several large purchases of
ethnological material since you were here: the Lenders
Collection of Philadelphia, the Benedict material from
the Philippines, and the Starr Collection from the Congo.
I brought back two thousand dollars^ worth of blankets

from li'exico and the Southwest, and we have just purchased
a Hopi collection.

I thought of you and yours many times when in Yuca-
tan and Mexico with the Chapmans and wished you might be
with us. Yucatan in particular would have appealed to you.

Very cordially yours.

Dr. C. Hart Merrie.ra,

Chief U. S, Biological Survey, V/ashington, I). C.

make Mr. Sussell*8 acquaintance, and pass upon the work which bas
been done }sj hia«

I3iere are five wall cases covering the respective zones, each
after the pattern of a habitat group. Above these cases, there is
ample wall space for five iaa|« itidL would sixjw the dlstributicn In

Enowing your Intense interest in all such matters, I am asking

there is anything that has been issued in this connection that is
better for this purpose than ycur colored map of January, 1890 as

Dear Dr. Brown:

I am delighted to hear that you are
back in San Francisco. The letter which you
enclosed and which I am returning, brought back
many pleasant memories,

fhen I was a youngster of 17, the
American Ornithology Society came out to Califoraia
in 2 chartered Pallirans taking 10 days for the trip
from Chicago to Los Angeles. Dr. and Mrs. C. Hart
Merriam were the life of the party, and their
daughter Dorothy, being ray age, we naturally made
a friendship which has lasted for many years. In
fact, I think Dorothy Merriam was the first girl
to whom I ever wrote a letter. Since college days
I have not contacted the family but have often asked
my father about the Doctor whom he sees on his
numerous trips to Washington. You can imagine how
much your letter interested me; was also interesting
to Mrs* Bumpus, for Dorothy was a classmate of hers
at Smith.

With very kindest regards to all the
family, I remain,

My dear Dr.Merriam,

Just a line to tell yon how mucnNr enjoyed
my visit to Lagunitas last weeic-end. It was a real delignt m
every way, i shall always ranamoer it with pleasure. I'he Whitneys
had a couple of hours to while away_ in S.F.so I steered them to
Tait's. Whitney remarked that the talk on that ride with you was
worth a month of ordinary talking.

Dr. Goddard tells me tnat the sheep are on Steed Mt. which
!■ 50 miles north of the botmdary line of Oregon and that we can
easily get there ftom the antelope region in Eevada. While at
your house I neglected to arrange about the permit to get sheep
etc. in Oregon, i «i3o neslacted tc get the P-O. flanks.

DR. STERLING BUNNELL

On returning home yesterday I was pleased to
find your letter* We had a very enjoyable trip although getting
into soliie severe storms and horribly sloppy roads in Oregon
and up the Pitt River, ohot a couple of deer and brought back
a live bear on the machine which we tamed on the way and
he proved to be a very amusing fellow traveler.

Another bear hunter who can furnish you with bear is
Charley Wick?, Fort Jones.Cal. We shot nothing worth sending
to the Biol. Survey but were interested to see I'ownsend's
sparrow fairly common on the summit of the Siskiyou Mts. on
the road leading south from Ashland, and also near Marble Lit.
on Oct. 18th and Oct. 17th respectively. V/e saw Clarke's crow
near Foft Jones Oct. 17th. The copper-head squirrels had
apparently gone into hibernation in the Marble Mt. country
\)j Oct. 14th but were still common up the Pit/ H.on 0ct23rd.

Oct. is a little late for mountain automobiling on
account of skiddy roads but the scenery then is the prettiest

Dear Doctor Llerriam,

Have not forgotten that most enjoyable time
with you in Washington last March. As I expect to leave for the
other side very shortly I though I would drop you a line before
goigg. When I returned to Hoboken after that very pleasant dajr
in Washington I was ordered to Ellis Island and there we made a
lOCC bed hospital out of the Irmnigration Bldgs. and spent four
most interesting months. Saw many men v;ho were returning from tiie
fighting zone either sick or wounded. Most had TB and about 15
per eent were mental cases. There were a.lso some healed and healing
war wounds. We could plainly see the many camouflaged transports
that were continually passing near us and heard lots of first hand
tales from the patients that came to us as soon as the returning
transports landed so v/e kept pretty well in touch with the conditions
on the other side.

On June 23rd orders came' for me to join our Base Hospital Unit
here at Allentown,our last camp before sailing and so I am very
jsuch delighted. Our cimp is full of bustle as all are busy drilling, •
taking instruction, or completing their ambulance outfits. I have
oeen taking the gas course and had to live most of 16 hours in a
hot slobbery gas mask. Just took a 7 mile hike in it. We felt like
a lot of elepliants breathing through our trunics and snorted like
porpoises. We could look through the windows however and see tl:e

fine weather outside.

Our outfit is now entirely ready and we are anxiously awaiting

Angers, France.
Jan. 13, 1919.

Dr, C.Hart Merriam,

Your very welcome letter of July 17th reached me In Prancel
and I an anBwering it at this tardy date because I have been so busy ever
since vfo landed. Was very glad to hear from you and to know that you enjoyed
another summer in California.

Cane to Fr:^nce on July 8th with a Base Hospital from ^.F.VTe crossed to
3eaune,Cot d^ Or and organized a 2000 bed hospital. I v/as in charge of the
surgical servl'ce but did not stay there long because v/as ordered to take an
0:)erating Team of seven to the Front, Vfe worked there in P^vacuation Hosi.itals
for three months both in the nt. Mihiel and the Argonne Drives. Had to work
very hard as there v/as a continual strea- of wounded boming in by ambulance
both night and day for most of the time. Did however get many chancer to roam
around in the front regions and see a lot of the big show. Was right in the
battlefield at trie taking of Grand Pre. Will never forget the wonderful scene
and noise, "t v/as in a long valley. The River Aire separated the Yanks and Cjer-|
^lans.The machine guns were in the floor of the valley and the artillery
filled the hills for miles back on each ?ide. The whole valley was a mass

of

explosions and the clouds of smoke from bursting shells were everywhere.

St

-^t was interesting to see the flash -nd then the puff of smoke from the Ger-
man guns on the opposite 111 and then hear the report. Very soon the very
business-like shriek of the shell would be heard coming right toward us and
in a crescendo terminating in a loud explosion in our vici ity. Often it
would come v/tth a wobbling hissing sound. They burst in the air --nd on con-
cussion. The machine guns rattled in the floor and also in the blue sky where
about fifty airoplanes could be seen circling amid bursting shrapnel from
the anti aircraft guns. This v/ould show as many new crisp black of white
clouds all around an airoplane The smoke v/ould then gradually spread and
become less crisr) till just a faint cloud would be left. The sky was ju
speckled v;ith these. A couple of us very foolishly showed ourselves in a
meadow and were seen by Fritz. He sent 7 shells(size T'^) in quick sMccession
In our s-me acre before wr could get out. Tt was just fool's luck that we
were not even hit.

Tr. the Evac. Hosn. v/e did a great amount of excising of wounds , removing
of 'foreign bodies and splinting of dreadfully shattered bones J^.g a. so many
Co.ses of^injury to brain, chestVabdomon and IJnee joint. All thest^.ve would
open , remove foreign debris a,nd close ler^ving drainage only down to the
pleura, peritoneum or capsule and none in the scalp. They did very well .Had
to do a great many transfusions, and many amputations. Had gas gangrene in
fairly good control and no tetanus.

Returned to the Base again and there had a great deal of clearing up
work to do, such as fractur^-s with maluni on, non-union^angulation, rotation,
overlapping, foreign bodies osteo-myelitis stiff joints, and many infected joi
joints' and positions of joints to be corrected for better functional results
many abcessrs , wounds to be closed , transfusions and amputation, aneurisms,
nerve injuries and contr-.c»: " ons,and tendon injuries. Had thr e very full
weeks of this sort of work in which often dif^ ^ operations a day .When the
clearing up work was done T took a leave of absence through Southern France
and the French Alns.On the return found orders to go to the States and be

mustered out so am 01^

ray

way

Was very much surprised to fine that France was so much like our ov/n
country in" its insects, mammals birds and vegetation. T expected to see
much greater differences.! v/as impressed with how very stable many of the
genera of even insects are. Enjoyed seeing the fine big jays and large crows
and skylarks. These last sang from the sky continually all through July
in V/estern France and wore at it even in the rain when all the rest of us
were gloomy. They v/ere surely rich in spirit.

Have enjoyed the French people very much. They are no very polite that
one has to go "Pardoning" and '^Herci beaucouplng^everybody all throu^sh
France. Thev are verv vivacious and do all they can to please us. They do
hov/ever put their prices sky hi^h when an American comes along. It is
common to see a buteher shop all festooned ?/lth skinned horses and mules
and T suppose we Ixavo "11 eaten thera v/ithout knowing it. Often one sees a
woman and --, dog hitched up to the same cart. Enjoyed Paris very r.uch with
all its gayfety and the great va ioty of uniforimof all except the Central
Nations. The streets are crowded and the fthop windows very gay. The French
shows were very fascinating and artistic. T think that cill the censors
had been killed off in the war. Our soldier boys have fallen in love with
the trus belle damoiselles ina have found it mutual so our country v;ill
have some reforming to do v/hen the boys come marching home. We will have ti
give all praise to the doughboy hov/ever for it was he who stood all the
hardship and suffering a>-d ri^ i the real fighting in the war. Nothing will b(
to good" for the boy who did the actual fighting when he goes hom.o.

T hope that this letter finds you and your little family very well
that vou have made big strides in that very interesting work of yo^^^rs

jrou were so good as to show me last Spring.
With best of wishes to you all I am

Yours very sincerely,

and

We arrived home the middle of October

My dear Dr. Merrlam:

About one moon ago Betsy and I were
delighted to receive from you the Pitt River Indian Bible
of which you were the author. I have delayed acknowledging
your kindness in sending it until Betsy and I had read it from
cover to cover.

We enjoyed it hugely and could not help but
think of your point of view that the white man^s Genesis is
even more superstitious and entirely impossible than is the
Indian's.

^An-nik-a-del^ is such delightful reading
and has such real intereat that it should have a wide circulation.
I hope it is but the beginning of many other works of a popular
nature to come from your pen as there is so much stored away in
your brain that the public should have.

We have been watching for your westward
migration and hope to see you all in person very soon.

many thanks for

With best of wishes from us both, and with
An-nik-a-del, I am.

My dear Dr. Merriam:

Betsy and I were delighted
to receive your note yesterday and the National
Geographic Book on the Fishes of the Atlantic Coast
and the book on the History of Egypt which you so
kindly sent pleased us very much.

It was good news indeed to
learn that Mrs. Merriam is no?/ walking with one
cane and I hope that within a few months she will
discard even this.

The article on bird flight, of
which you kindly inquired, I have not been able to
touch since you were here because of the rush of
work. It, therefore, has not been sent anywhere for
publication. This is much as you have been sidetracked
from your own work on the duty job of directing the
proofs of the book on Alaska.

In your letter you mentioned
nothing of your health so I am hoping that you have
had no further trouble. I hope that my plea for you
to conserve your energies and to use a chauffer hrs
not teen in vain.

With very test of v/ishes to
■rs. Merriam and yourself for the New Year and with
many thanks for the holiday remembrances from us

My dear Doctor Merriam:

The summer passed so. quickly that you
were gone from the W/est before we realized it and both
Betsy and I regretted that ^e haa the opportunity of
seeing so little of you v.hen you were here*

We were both greatly pleaseo to find the
book ''Wild Grizzlies of Alaska*' by John Holzwort
which you were so kina as to send. Vvork has been so
all-time consuming of late that we have not as yet had
time to start it. We hope to qo so in the Chrii^tmas
lull, however, and if we enjoy it as much as we did
''The V^ilderness of Leneli^' it will be a rare treat.

My paper on oira flight which you were
so kind as to review for me will probably appear in this
month's Concor. I will send you a reprint.

In Septanber 1 had a glorious deer hunt ..
in the Sierras back of the Kings River country. We
were successful in having a wonderful time ano getting
a number of fine four point Ducks in wonderful mountain
scenery at timber line. I was also fortunate in captur-
ing a Zapus. This little animal is fascinating and seems
to h.ave habits all its own. It is most playful and
scampers ajout the room in long bounas. It is readily
picked up ana shows no aisposition to bite . I tried
to capture a coney but was unsuccessful.

I hope you are enjoying good health.

With many thanks for your kindness in
sending the book ''Grizzlies of Alaska", and with best
of wishes to you all, I am.

This morning I operated upon

Everything ^ent off very well ana she was c^uite

The cervix was Sfidely lacerated

the anus due to the ovt^rst retching and subsequent
proliferation. I repaired the cervix ana attended
to the anal reaundancy.

She should be entirely healed
in two weeks. MeantiiVie she will be having a rest.

The perineum was somewhat relaxed.
I aid not repair it as she will probably have another

Here it is January 1, 1933. The oiolosiical
poisoning off our wild life, and the Democrats are
the whole world seems to be changing, but the laws
remain the same, -^iving in the field of science,
this at least nust be comforting.

I have just read the first fifty Dae:es
of "Trails of the Hunted" by Kames L. Clark, which you were so
kind as to send me. It is a most fascinating book and carries
one away off from this local turmoil of readjustment. You
have a way of selecting the most interesting books. This one
of Clark ^s shows such close and accurate observation and has
such a ring of truth that it makes fascinating reading.

I think mv favorite of all hunting books
is "The Wilderness of Denali"'.* I have lent the copy you once
sent me to twenty or thirty people and only last n:- ght took
it to an old h^jnting pal of mine who is stricken with
tuberculosis ?nd in the Ross General Hospital.

Betsy is comp] etely entranced with our new
baby and now at six months, as he is unfolding and showing
personality, he is adding much happiness to our home.

Wishing Mrs. Merriam and yourself a most
happy New Year, and thanking you very much for :/our kindness
in sending the interesting book, I am.

Dear :'.r, Bro^vn!-

; X havo rocelved yoursof yesterday. Your reply to
?.rr. Johnaon'a lottor you did not enclose. t Judc« fron th'? general
tona of your letter that !ir. JTarrlraan objects to ajiy of my accounts of
tho Alaska trip appearAnc in the Centtiry Magazine, I think ho is
wrone here. In the Century it ;voulrt ^o into the hands of at leaat one
million roadorsi -in book form it my reach a few thousand. Its appear-
ance in the Macaxine would not at all interfere with its snle as an in-
dependent publication, but have quite the contrary'.effect. Any publisher
will tell him t'ds. The materials of all my books have first appeared
as maeazino articles. If readers like thein in the macazino, thoy want
then in the book. A dull and uninteresting account of the expedition
printed in the nacazlne would undoubtedly htirt the book. Readors would
•ay "I have had enough of that". Prom a pecuniary point of view, oon-
siderlnc Mr . Harriman » s proposition, the tv70 sides of the case .are
equal. But an .' author likes a largo audlonce and X should prefer to
publish in the magazine first. .

There is ^mother point that I forgot to mention to the
publication committee. I am under contract with ny publishers,
Houghton, Mifflin & Co. to give them the option of every book I offer
for ptiblication. If t write a volume on the Alaska Expedition it will
havo to go to thorn first, or their consent be obtained for its publica-
tion else'.rhere.

I shall have my material in shape early in Jantiary.
will make about 30,000 words.

It

Verjr sincerely.

we prex)ared additional authorities for the motion for a
new trial, notice of which v/as served on us, and attended
to several matters in connection with the appeal, which
was noted. For this service we are enclosing a nominal bill
of #10.00, which we trust will be entirely satisfactory.

Dr. 0. Hart Merriam,
1919 leth Street, N. W.,

Dear Doctor Merriam:

Oving to my having many frieMs among tlie RouuBjiians I
have been asked to form the American Houmanian Society for the
purpose of bringing the two nations into a closer understanding,
to supply information of every character to the American people
regarding Roumania, and to develop the economic relations of the
two countries.

Roumanians wonderfal resources, its geogTaphical posi-
tion, and the fact that it so nobly fought on the side of the
Allies, will undoubtedly enable it to talce a position as one of
the most prominent of th.e nations of southeastern liXirope, espe-
cially since it will, in all probability, include Transylvania
and Bukowina, tliereby adding ^eat]y to its wealth.

Roumanians principal port is Const anza, on the Black Sea,
upon which many millions of dollars have been spent. The opening
of the Dardenelles makes the cotintry accessible to the entire
world. Owing to the fact that Roumania is on tha great River
Danube, it will unquestionably become the principal distributing
point for a vast territory in that section of the world*

I would certainly appreciate it if you woald become a
member of th.e Society, as the movement will unquestionably be of
great international benefit. Unless you wish to take a more ac-
tive part you will not be called upon to do anything further than
to lend your moral support, as it is the intention to have the
work outlined placed in charge of a conpetent executive secretary.

The daes are to be ten dollars a year, which, of coiirse,
will go to the payment of the eijqpenses of tl» Society and the
extension of its work.

This has received the approval of Ulr. N. H. Lahovary,
Charge d'Affaires ad interim of Roumania, wlx) has agreed to accept
the office of Honorary President, which is a source of much grati-
ficaticm.

IsgtmitaSt California*

Dear Ur» Herri aia:

I trust that you had a pleasant and comfortable trip and
are finding California as delightful as ei^er. We are having a taste
Of ideal spring weather at present but we cannot count on it to last

long*

I ha^e had numerous conversations with l!r. Liebman and the
architects and with Daly and Hopper, who are to put up the extension
to the chimney. Mr. Liebman absolutely declines to go beyond a ten-
year guarantee and insists that your houee extends some inches over
the line of the property sold to him and that thei*efore he does not
feel bound to yield any further than he has already. I went to see
Daly and Hopper in the hope that they might be willing to give a
guarantee which would protect Liebman for tweaty years, but they say
that they ordinarily guarantee runs for only one year and that if
Mr. Liebman himself makes one fn ten years it would be upon his own
responsibility.

I feel very strongly that you should be placed in statu quo
and given adequate assurance that you will continue to be protected,
but in view of the possible discrepancy in the boundary line and the
somewhat ambiguous provisions of the law on this subject, I cannot
helj) feeling that having gotten Mr. Liebman to agree to maintain the
chimney for as long as ten years it would be advisable to accept these
terms rather than embark upon a litigation iidiich mi^it in the end prove
more expensive than the chimney even if we were certain as to the out-
come. I ahall, however, be only too glad to follow any course that you
direct, and am merely offering this as a suggestion out of my personal
experience*

^ith kindest regards and trusting that your visit may be a
thoroughly agreeable one all the way through, 1 am.

Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

I ha-ve .after a number of conferencee in which e-very argument

and the most urgent insistence was niade .reached the conclusion that
the possibility of obtaining the settlenient which was demanded is ^ery
slight if it exists at all. The condition at which they have per-
sistently balked and seemed willing to be sued rather than grant ^'as
that of the twenty year guaranty. I understand they have sold the
apartment house, but of course this makes no difference as to the
matters in question and unless I hear from you to the contrary, I

shall file suit.

I)ear Dr. Herri am:

Your letter of the second instant has been received and I was
7©ry glad to get it because, while, as you say, the obstinancy and unfair-
ness of the owners of the apartment is to oe regretted, I would prefer to
see a settlement than to have you annoyed with a law suit. Ilr. Liebman
is leaving tov.n until the end of next vreeV. but states that iinnediately
upon his return he will confer with us regarding the matter.

I Icicm how delighted you must be with the new iraterial v/hich
you have been fortunate enough to ootain. It nust be a great deal of
■atisfaction to have accomplished so much in such a field. I never
ceased to wonder at the volume and particularly the character of the
data you have gathered which could only have been done by one endov/ed
with the complexity of attributes which you are so fortunate to possess.

7ith Kindest regards to you, llrs. Ferrian and your daughter,

and are atsured at the present time that the chimney is being constructed

I thiiik it is better not to press the matter of refinishing the doors

may be well along before doing anything vidiich would promote even the

My dear Dr Merrlam:

Thank you very much for the copy of
yo\ir work on The Pit River Indian Tribes,
which you so kindly sent to me on New Year

contribution, and how greatly you must have
enjoyed gathering the material together.

I have not added any pictures to my

Hart Merriam, Esq.,

U.S. Biological Survey,

Washington, D.C,

Hear Sir:-

At the request of Dr. Walcott, Chairman of the Trustees of
the Washington iremorial Institution, I beg to advise you that a meeting
of the Executive Committee of the Trustees is desired at Washington
at some convenient time in October or November. Because of the academic
engagements of some of the members of the Committee, it is thought that
a Friday or a Saturday will probably be a preferable day of the week
for the meeting. Some members of the Committee are already engaged
for October 26th and November 9th.

Will you kindly indicate your preference as to a time of meeting
within the limits specified?

very truly yours,

My dear Mr. Merriam:

I have read with great regret your letter

of February 4th, and venture to express the hope that you may in
some way be able to rearrange your assignment for summer service so
that you could be at Columbia University on June loth, in order to
receive the honor which we wish to pay you, and perhaps leave for
California immediately thereafter . As you are doubtless aware,

the rules of the University require that honorary degrees be
conferred upon a candidate in person.

Sincerely yours.

PRESIDENT'S ROOM

January 24, 1929

Dr. C, Hart Merriam

1919 Sixteenth Street
Washington, D.C.

Dear Br, Merriam:

We have not forgotten the fact that in 1903

the Trustees of Columbia University desired to confer upon you the
honorary degree of doctor of Science, but that year and in each of
several subsequent years your official duties took you away from
this part of the coxintry at the time ^en our annual Commencement
was held.

The degree still awaits you if you can present
yourself to accept it, and I write to ask whether this may not be
possible at the Commencement of 1929? The President's annual
dinner, at which those who are to receive honorary degrees are
guests of honor, is fixed for the evening of Monday, June 3, while
the degrees themselves will be conferred and attendant exercises
held on the afternoon and early evening of the following day.

Tuesday, Jxane 4.

It would please us very much if even after

this long interval you could be present to receive the degree which

we are anxious to confer.

Faithfully yours

My dear Dr. nerriom:-

Do you reraembor meeting in Orleans
last summer the missionary clorgyman to the Indians, e.n-1 if bo
\7ill remember me? I certainly remember a most delightful evening
spent with you on the porch of the little Hotel, and vrith your
daughter present, and I hope sometirae to have the pleasure of
repeating the visit.

At that time you revealed to me your wonderful knowledge of
ribes, a loiowledge upon vriiich ^ would like very much

to draw, if there is any published data to which j?-ou can direct
me. As I go about the country many people ask me questions about
the Indians of the [[larnath and also of other r.rts of Oalifornia
v/hich I find I am unable to ansv/er, but I should be so glad to
ansYrer. And lateljf the Diocese of Sacramento elected me one of tho
four Olorico.l Deputies to the Cxoneral Convent ion of tho Church
v,diich is to moot in Detroit in October, and no leubt at that Con-
vention I vrill be asked to tell of the vrork of the Church up hero
in the Oalifornia moimtains and of the Indians. Is bho:.^e any pub-
lished data on the Indians of California and Oregon v/hich I could
ecure? Such information as a lajnnan in Indian lore could digest

G

and be able to impart to others? I vrould be very th nlcful for any
suggestions as to how I can secure such information.

You spoke of oossibly coming back here this summer, and I am
hoping 2/ou will be able to carry out such a plan and that vie will
have tho pleasure of seeing you and your daugliter again.

Thanking you for your kindness, and with kindest regards for

Dear Sir:

Replying to yours of Dec. 8, Trill say that the sloill
of the hear you mention, together with two smaller ones, evident-
ly cuhs, was picked up hy me ahout 25 miles northwest of Pacosa
Springs in this state, in October 1906. All the bones of these
three animals were lying within a radius of fifty feet of the
point where they were likely killed, not over two years previously,

I remember picking up quite a' number of the teeth of
the smaller stolls, which latter were, however, so imperfect in
condition that I did hot save them. i

Having at hand no map of Colorado other than the one in
the Encyclopaedia Britannica, I can not give you a closer location
than that indicated above, but if such is reouired, and you make
the request, I can likely locr.te the point within a mile.

Tery respectfully.

Dr. C. Hert Merriam,

1919 - Sixteenth St.,
Washington, D.

Dear Sir:-

EEAR PKULLS.

Yours of the 8th:

I regret to state thc?t I ^m unable to offer you
any assistance in the way of skulls, I did hunt on the Kenai,
but it was during Septemb ;r and October -'^rh^n the pelage of
the bear were such that I did not care to take any specimens.

I am, how=;ver, giving you the name of Clifford
Little, Box 409 Victorib, B. C. This gentlem&n, I believe,
has quite a collection of skulls and I have no doubt he would
be m.ore than happy to loan you his miaterial. He has been hunt-
ing in Alaska every spring for fifteen years. I also give
you the name of Max C. Fleischmian of Cincinnati.

I am particularly interested to hear of your mono-
graph on the American Big Bear. Trust that when this is
issued you will advise me so that I may secure a copy. It
miay be unbecoming for me to make a suggestion, and I certainly
hesitate to do so as I have no doubt you have covered every
possible branch of the subject, but what articles on bears
that have come to my attention have failed to say anything definite
regarding the mating and cubbing. Mr. Little and I talked this
over last year, and he has made somie rather interesting observa-
tions, especially regarding the Alaskan Brown Bear.

Again regretting my inability to offer you any assie-
emain

Yours truly.

Mr, C. Hart Merrlam,

Washington, D* C«

Dear Slr:-

I am t#-day In receipt of your letter #f the 12th, In reference
to the specimens ef game skulls from Alaska and of which you spoke to
Ur. King a short flmo ago.

It would seem from your letter that Mr* King has misinformed
you In regards to ray taking a hunting trip In the north as the tlBi#
that I spend In Alaska, about eight months of each year. Is confined
entirely to the operation of an hydraulic mine located on Dan Creek a
tributary to the Nlzlna Rlvor which is In the Nlzlna tfcfca^Hbgt of the
Copper River District. JBhere are times, however, during the season
when natives are hunting In ©ur territory for the purpose of supplying
t^e various camps with fresh meat and while I have never tried to
secure any skiais or specimens from th«aa, It Is quite possible that I
could obtain smo for you ^though In the last few years the Bear have
been very scarso In ©ur vlolnlty. As for shooting game myself. It Is
a luxury that I have to deprive myself the pleasure of owing to the
fact that It Is seldom possible for me t© leave the proi^erty diarlng tt$

the entire season.

I shall be very glad to send you any specimens that I am able

cure

Very truly vours.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

Inst

I have your letter of February 4th, with additional
information in regard to the position that you have vacant.
I am very sorry to say that in the interim between Christmas
and this time my plans for the future have been modified
so that it seems impossible for me to be considering a
permanent position at this time. I am accepting a permanent
position as housewife which will commence during the spring
wedding season. As you may doubtless imagine, this change
of plan interferes with any full time clerical position on
my part, but it is with genuine appreciation that I thank you
for suggesting such a position with you. I appreciate what
a splendid opportunity this would have been for me to work
under you in a line that appeals to me, and I am grateful
to you for your interest in me when you had this opening to

fill.

I regret nay delay in answering your letter gt lebruary 23d. Tour
plan of work for the soinner months does sound very enticing, and I am sorry
that I will not be able to be a member of your party. I hope that you will
be mere successful in finding a stenographer- secretary in the future than
you have in the past*

At this time it seems unlikely that I will be in the Bay Region
this summer, so I could not promise to be available for work at Lagunitas
for short periods as you suggest* In case you are in need of someone at
Lagunitas this surrmsr and I were in this region, I should be very glad to
arrange to work with you.

Your interest in ms and your offer of the opportunity to woric with
you this sunwer has been much appreciated* Thanking you, I am^

Beapectfully yours.

^)ear Sir:

Your letter of August 23rd is received.

There is a fairlv ^ood automotdle road through the
Sycamore Creek country by wsy of Trimmer and 'Eurre
Valley. I r^ould suggest th?t you stop at oa r gu.ard
station when you reach Trimmer and get further di-
rections. Since there are no regular stopping places
along the road, it will probably be necessary for.^
you to carry your bed if you wish to stay over night.

If you wish to go into Dunlarr, you will have to go
by way of Bitterville; (^<^ ^ ir<s^ r f ///^ -

Under separate cover I am mailing you a copy of the
recreation mao of this Forest which shows all the main
roads and from which you can probably plan your trip.

I am very glad that you were able to obtain some of the
information you wished from Mrs. Teaford,

Yours very trul^'-,

Your esteemed favor of June 13 with mailing
address of Herald is a good excuse for my writing you a
few lines. Though we never meet, have many happy recol-
lections of the time when you were in this locality.
Also greatly esteemed your father and count the Merriam
family as among my best friends.

Perhaps you noticed in the Herald that Hart
Merriam Shultz, or the Lone Wolf, as he is called, with
his wife was here a few weeks ago. Will Schultz is a
cousin of mine, and was pleased to meet and entertain
Mr. and Mrs .Hart Merriam Schultz. He seems to have won
quite an honored place in art. Have often wanted to
call on you or Mrs .Bailey when in Washington, but time
has not permitted.

Have watched your success in life, and cer-
tainly congratulate you upon the successes which you
have won.

Hoping some day you will find it convenient

Dear Mr •Merriam:

You have been refered to me as being of possible
assistance in my disposeing og a collection of
mounted birds, dried skins and birds eggs#

This collection consists of approximately one
thousand mounted birds on standards and then
a large number of dried skins. The mounted spec-
imens have been kept in glass cases and free from
dust and the dried specimens and eggs have been
kept in drawers free from dust.

In connection with this collection there is an
index showing the date each bird was billed, by
whom taken and also the common and scientific
name. Each specimen is labeled with a number name
etc. which corresponds with the index.

The greater number of these bdrds were taken in
northern Hew York beginning back about 1875 and
up to about 1900.

I would appreciate it a great deal if you could
advise me the names of interested parties, museums
etc. that would be interested in the purchase of
collections on this order. I am enclosing addressed
stamped envelope.

Trusting to hear from you at an early date and
thanking you, I remain.

Very truly yours,

The only information v/e have been able to obtain so
far has been slight references to this tribe in the "Channel
Islands" and the "Adventures of Torqua", both these books by
Holder.

Thanking you for any information you can give us,
and assuring you that t'lis information would be greatly ap-

Within the last year or two, some very wonderful discoveries have

Daar sir;-

Replying to your letter of the 16th; I am sorry I
cannot either send you some specimens or give you information
regarding the hear in question but the two skulls that I brought
out from Admirality hare been moxmted in rugs and so, are not
available. I have felt a keen interest in your coming publi-
cation and regret my Inability to be of some little service to
you. 1 expect to go into Admirality and Baranof islands again
this spring and, if successful and not too late for your use, 1
would be glad to send you anything Ihappen to bring out, in

the way of unlsual or freak skulls.

Very truly, /

Dear Sir;-

Replying to your letter of the 3rd; I had
a letter from you eome three years ago along the same
limes and I regretted, at that time, that the skulls
which I had accumulated up to that time, were all in
rug8» My last trip to Alaska was after other game and
I didnt have the good luck to run across teari|, I ^ad
a trip planned and arranged along the Alaska islands for
this spring but I unfortunately hurt my foot very badly
while on a hunt alone in Arizona last fall and it hasnt
as yet, recovered sufficiently for me to risk s hard
hike like Alaska requires. I may yet make the trip this
spring but failing this year, I am sure to put in most
of next spring, summer and fall in the north and aw I am
and have been very much interested in your work and
collection, you can depend upon me sending you anything
I should get that would indicate an old or unusual skull.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. George •^glras, 3rd. iin
Alaska once, and he was kind enough to give me a lot
of information along the lines you were

Dear Doctor :-

Upon receipt of your letter of November 17th, au-
thorizing me to sell the property, Nos. 115 & 117 Crown St.,
for ?510,000. I went, on Saturday, the 20th., to Charles P.
Levere, the tenant of the property, and told him that if he
would make an of for for the property, I had authority to con-

sider it.

I could not £;et an offer from him t:iat day whicr

n

I thought worth considering. I had previously , -before writ-
ing to Judge Townsend— had several interviews with Levere,
and was satisfied that he really desired to purchase the prop-
erty. On Monday I called on him again at about ten o'clock,
and he made me an offer of |9000 . for the property, whidi T
told him v/as entirely out of the question. I stayed with
him until half-past one that morning, and again spent the af-
ternoon with him until five o' clock, v.lien I finally raised his
offer from ?^9000. to .$9500. and then to $10,000., which I ac-
cepted, feeling convinced that it was the highest figure which
he could be induced to make 5 and I immediately drew up a bond
for a deed, v/hich he and I signed in the presence of two wit-
nesses, and I had him make a part payment on the spot to birxd
t?ie bargain.

(Dr. C. H. Merrlain.) #2.

The income of the property, as you know, Is A810 • per
annum, and I have ascertained from Mr. Smith, who has had
charge of the property, that the repairs and insurance average
&,t least |120. yearly. To this must be added 2^ of the valiae
of the property, for taxes, and you will see that Leverets in-
vestment will hardly net him 5/<,- and indeed, my father has al-
ways said that $10,000. was all that the property vas worth.

I forwarded on Wednesday to Judge Townsend, at Hot Sprir^^s^
Va., anvarranty deed of the property, to be signed by both him

and yourself, and also a bond to file with the Probate Court
to secure the sale of real estate, and asked Judge Townsend,
after he had signed both papers, to forward them to you for
your signature.

You will notice in the deed that I have described the
property as having a frontage of 20 ft. 6 in. on Crown St., in-
stead of 19 ft. 10 in. You will recollect, perhaps, that be-
twe(»n the main Hoadley Building at the corner of Church and
Chapel Sts. and this property stands a nar-ow four-story brick
building built by George Edward. On looking up the deeds I
found that this building of George Edward's was bounded on

Crown St. by a line drawn 23.0& ft. distant from the exterior

loo

face of the east wall of the Hoadley Building. An 18 ini:)^ ^^'^11

constitutes "^he division line between George Edward's buildi

and T?red's threr.-story bulldiag. Measuring 23.05 ft. from
the corner of the Hoad\ey building I found that T hadVeached
the center of this division wall aforesaid, and that therefore
8 in. of this wall stood on 7red Hoadley's land. T therefore
added this 8 in. to the 19 ft. 10 in. frontage of which I for-
merly spoke, miaking the total frontage 20 ft. 6 in. I have
also described the property as of a width of 21 ft. 2 in. at
the rear. This I ascertain d by actual measurement. The
building was not built on exactly parallel lines, but slants
toward the rear.

My father will execute today to the executors a deed of
this portion of the premises, conveying the legal title to the
property, which he stiU holds as trustee.

I have seen Judge Cleaveland of the Court of Probate, and
he has agreed to the sale, and I have dated the bond March 8,
1897, at his request, because that was the" date when he first
gave me a power of sale to sell the real estate. He has fix-
od, as you will notice, the bond at $10,000., and it has been
drawn very carefully so as to limit your responsibility and
that of Judge Townsend very narrowly. I will ^et one of the

Trust Companies to sign as surety.

Be careful to have your

signature to the deed acknowledged before a notarv or some oth-

er m.agistrate, and have him attach his acknowledgment to t

he

paper .

The bond to secure sale of refil estate requires nothing be-
yond your simple signature.

LGvere is a thoroughly responsible party, owns two houses
at West Haven and has $3500. in the bank, and has arranged with
a third party to take a first mortgage on the premises. He
will have his money ready, and the bond for a deed calls for
the payment of the entire amount in cash on December 1st.
Levere was always friendly with Fred and refused to testify
against him, though Ely was very anxious to have him, di ring
the trial. I recollectthat Levere told me then that Fred had
told him that if he ever should decide to sell this particular
piece of property he would give Levere the first chance to
make an off er .^'^^^^^'■^ ^^"^ c^cwv^^vv^ -|pA\A^t»^.4/L vn*^' -^^vru/u/j. (\^,(£^ cc/wa^Tu

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,
1919 16th St. N*W»
Washington, D.C.

Dear Doctor Merriam:

I have returned to my work here after
the very enjoyable week of vacation. I was very happy to
have had the good fortune of finding you at home and
especially to have found you so cordial and gracious in
spending a whole evening with me. I enjoyed the recounting
of adventures, not only in the field but also in the realm
of ideas, tremendously, for as I told you, I have regarded
you as a friend for a long time, ever since I took a boyhood
fancy to the Life Zone Concept.

So, it was a great pleasure for me to
meet you and Mrs. Merriam and gain some insight into yaur
methods of work. I am sure that I can profitably apply
this in ray education of new generations of naturalists.
I enjoyed your article on "Biology in our colleges", especially*
I have been interested in the various movements that have
altered the complexion of college courses and have been glad
that through the medium of ecology there is more of a
possibility to keep students closer in touch with the real
problems which arise from field and naturalistic studids.

Tour work on the Indian Tribes and Languages
was a complete surprise to me, as I had not heard of it
before, it certainly represents a tremendous amount of work.
I hope you can extend it up along the coast of Oregon and
Washington, too. Did you say that you are going to be at
work in California this summer? I hope to go home to
Washington this summer and may do some hiking along the coast.

I hope sometime that I may have the
opportunity of tal^iing with you again. There is so much
about your early days and contemporaries that I would like
to know and also I would lice to learn something of the
Indian names for coast landfalls, etc.

Are you making any place in particular your
headquarters this summer?

Please let me tell you and Mrs. Merriam
again how much I appreciate your hospitality of that pleasant
evening in Washington.

Very sincerely yours,

Dear Sir:-

Yoi^r favor of the 20th inst just received and I am glad indeed
to have heen of any assistance to yourself, or to the U. S. Biolgical Sur-
vey, Toy loaning j'ou the "bear skulls. Of the six bear skulls, one is a. very
old inale and one an extrenely old female. The fenale neasured about ten
feet ore inch after the skin had been taken off. Of the other four skulls,
one is ar adult male, I should say, about six or Beren years, the other
three being t*as«e*three year bld^ .v'hich were with the large adult female
and which I think would have left the fenale that Pall.

These bear vrere all killed or the Stikine River about severty-
five miles from Telegraph Creek and v/ithin tv;enty-f ive miles of Dease
Lake. This country vrhere the bears were killed is^the most western side
of the CasBiar Hountains, but these bear are found all along the Stikine

River from Wrt.ngle, as far north as "Dease Lake ard East of the Big Muddy

/\

River. ^^•

Any other irfornation that you desire, I will be only too glad to

give youjand when you are finished with the skulls, if you will drop me a

line, I will tell you where to have^hen e^soressed to mj' Taxidermist in

Dear Slr:-

Uhdarstanding that you are President of the U.S. Geographic
S\rpvey,i an taking the liberty of addressing you concerning the
naming of the mountain peaks in the Lassen volcanic National
Park,

We have bewi informed that these peaks Fill be namel for
some prominent pioneers of this section, dead ones, however we
have a real live pioneer in the person of Mr. Asa M.Fairfield,
who has written "Fairfield's Pioneer History of Lassen Ccurty«.
and who is. In the opinion of the citizens of this northeastern
section of California, worthy of the honor of having one of
the peaks in this Park named in his honor.

We have submitted to Mrs.Oolbum of San Francisco, who has
Interested herself In this work,mari^rous petitions asking
that Mr, Fairfield be th<Ks honored.

I have been acquainted with Mr, Fairfield for upwards of
twenty five years. He Is a man of high character and an out-
standing figure in this northern country. I tmderstand you have
a copy of the history above referred to. Years of the most
painstaking work in getting the truth, with much expendlt\:ra of
his time and money were devoted to this work by Mr. Fairfield,
his only hope of reward being to save the history of early days
for the benefit of future generations.

ik&sen (SLonntu,. *£aiL
3B. 33. Biirrxtu^iT, Sudq^

It wcnld seem that such work is worthy of soiae consideration
and recognition, and i hope that wo can prevail upon these In
charge of this natter to give ue consideration.

If the rule is, as has been stated, that only deceased pioneer f
are to be recognlzed.is it an invariable one^or may we be able
to present such a case that It might be deviated from ?

If you can assist me in this raatter or give me any In-
foimation on the 8ub;Ject it will be appreciated.

Very Truly,

My dear Sirt

<^

On June 9, 1934, there passed from our midst a distinguished
engineer, an unselfish leader in all enterprises looking to the
improvement of civic, state and national affairs, a courteous and
sincere friend of all who were privileged to Icnow him. In his
profession. Dr. Qrunsky attained national recognition, and he was
extended high honor by his fellow engineers, and by the scientific
world. A brief summary of his life accompanies this letter.

As President of the California Academy of Sciences, he served
for twenty-two years, the longest period of any incumbent of this
office. In its scientific and educational work he was intensely
interested and spared no effort to advance its usefulness.

It is proposed to establish a memorial in his honor by dedi-
cating to him one of the large habitat groups of African mammals
in the Simeon African Hall of the Academy Museum in Golden Gate
Park, one for which he, himself, had painted the background. It
is fitting, indeed, that a memorial should commemorate such an
unselfish and praiseworthy life, and it is believed that the form
here proposed will be peculiarly appropriate to this end.

You are cordially invited to contribute to the fund for
this purpose} $2,500 will be needed to insure the completion and
dedication of one of these beautiful exhibits and any sum, large
or small, toward this will be gratefully received. Contributions
may be sent to the California Academy of Sciences, Golden Gate
Park, San Francisco.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

On January 19 next, Miss Alice Eastwood, Curator
of Botany in the California Academy of Sciences during the past
forty-six years, will celebrate her eightieth birthday.

An appropriate celebration of this occasion is being
planned in recognition of Miss Eastwood's long service to the science
of botany, of her historic action in saving the botanical types and
the records of the Academy from destruction in the San Francisco
disaster of I906, of her remarkable success in rebuilding the Academy's
herbarium and botanical library to their present size and usefulness,
and especially of the generous and kindly spirit v;hich has left an indelible
stamp on her botanical work, and which has attracted to her so many loyal
and admiring friends.

It has occurred to me that a number of Miss Eastwood's
friends and co-workers in thebiological sciences mi^ht desire to
take note of this occasion by sending letters of greeting and felicita-
tion. I am sure that she would be deeply appreciative of a word of
greeting from you.

It is our intention that all letters received in this
connection be bound into a presentation volume. I should appreciate
it accordingly if any letter you care to write might be mailed to me,
although the message itself would of course be addressed to Miss Eastwood.

truly yours

fully and to my way of thinking, as your own v/ith the one ommission
the failure to provide for Indians who are not and do not wish to be
fanners, is an excellent bill. We I hope will work for it- 1 have it up
before our State President Dr.Bertola now^and as sonn as she passes
and the State Board takes acti6n,all District Chairmen will have word
to urge the support through their district^ I do wish it were possible
to get many copies of it so I may be able to send it to the various
larger clubs in this district, as y/e have many here^Just at present we
are working very hard for the Swing-Johnson Bills, v/hich were passed by

It seem every time you are Y/est I am North

Mrs.Roseberry told me of the lovely visit she had

with you^I attended the luncheon given by the Los

Angeles Chamber of Commerce for Mr.Merritt on his

tour of the West following up the recent talk given

by Congressman Frear,Its nice to make some people

worry? He gave a very flattering talk in favor of the

Bureau^We were not permitted to ask a question or

did he mention my Indians of California, I was dissappoi-

nted^I wonder if I could get any copies of the

Swing- Johnson Bills of the California Indians. I wrote [j^^^;

them some time ago but have rec no reply. I would appreciate

Dear Mr. Merriaun:

We acknowledge with many thanks the receipt
of your generous subscription of tlO.OO, in response
to our circular letter concerning the purchase of
the Clift collection.

Not only is this collection interesting in
itself, but it was assembled by one of the former
Directors of the Society, and much of it was dis-
played as a special exhibit by the Society in
September, 1930,

Contributions have been coming in so well that,
in addition to being able to purchase the Clift
collection, we shall probably have enough to help
considerably toward the cost of moving the Society
into the new quarters.

We greatly appreciate your interest and assistance.

Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:-

The United States Government is now repairing

teen made. The second payment of $3,500. will be due

Of the sums already paid, Mr. Mather and his
friends have subscribed over $2,000; the State has
appropriated $3,000. and wa expect to get the remain-
ing $10,000. from good roads enthusiasts.

Will you send your check for $5.00, more or
less, at once to help out this project?

Remember the Government repairs and maintains
this road and will have it ready for use by the middle
of next month. It is one of the most scenic roads In

TO OUR MEMBERS:

, . ^ You have heard of the great transcontinental

highway from New York City to San Francisco, known as the
Lincoln Highway. The nonur.ent which marks the western end
of that highway has been located, established and dedicated
with suitable ceremonies in the Lincoln Park in San Francisco,
but although Northern California, the terminus of the Western
end of that route, it has not received the benefits which it
should have had, nor even proper recognition^ because the Lin-
coln Highway has been routed from Salt Lake City to Reno by
way of Ely, Nevada, and at Ely the traveler is diverted by
signs and personal solicitation south to Los Angeles and that
city IS today reaping the benefits of the establishment of
the Lincoln Highway, which should logically come to San
Francisco and the North.

Granting that this diversion of traffic is
part to the enterprise of the people of Los Angeles
part to the bad condition of the Highway from Ely to
till we can counteract the effect of these conditions
extent by carefully signing the route from Salt Lake
San Francisco, with the sign of the California State
ile Association which has become a familiar object to
e benefits of which you have often gladly acknowledged
self, if not to the Association.

. , The State of Nevada at the last session of
its legislature adopted an act designed to carry into effect
a bond issue for the purpose of constructing roads similar to
those which have made California an object of interest and
praise throughout the United States. The act established two
mam trunk lines through Nevada; one of which follows the
route of the present so-ca,lled Lincoln Highway through Fallon
Sink, Austin and Ely to Salt Lake and the other proceeds by
the Northern route along the line of the railroad and river
through Winnemucca and Elko to Salt Lake,

^e are advised that the upper T6v.te will first
receive attention, but in any event these routes must be
properly and carefully signed in order that San Francisco
and Northern California shall receive the benefit to which

it

is

entitled-

Southern California has signed a route from Los
Angeles to Kansas City, We cannot remain quiescent while
tourist travel and business is thus diverted from our doors-

The California State Automobile Association this
season will mark the highway between San Francisco and Reno^
with proper Lincoln Highway markers and the signs ^^ith which
you are familiar. If funds will permit, we shall continue
this marking across Nevada, with the design of forestalling
the Southern California people who hc.ve already requested
the privilege of marking the Lincoln Highway from. Bait Lake
City west, with its consequent unfortunate results to us*

The dues furnished by the me:nbers of this Asso-cia-
tion are not sufficient to, undertake this great work. Nearly
all automobile associations charge annual dues of twice the
amount paid by our members.

It is therefore necessary to secure contributions
for sign work outside the State of California, "^^ill you
send us without delay, at least §1-00 to help defray the ex-
pense of this work? We hope you can see your \vay clear to
exceed this ariount as an evid^^nce of your appreciatJon of
the necessity of this work and by way of enoouragement to
the officers of this Association who are endeavoring by every
legitimate means in their power to further the interests Of
the automobilist and the State of California.

Dear Dr. Merrlam: —

This is to acknowledge receipt of
yours of the 8th and to advise that your com-
ment in connection with our abbreviating the
word California, by using "Cal" is most sure-
ly well taken. In fact, I have commented on
this same thing most frequently to all em-
ployees, and after getting your letter, I
must admit that it was several minutes before
I learned where we had committed this error
on our letterhead, but after a careful perusal
of same, I note that "Cal" is used after the
Director's names in fine prints

Let me assure you that on the next
stationery we have printed, this v/ill be done
away with, and while space will not permit us
to possibly spell the word out, we can, as
you suggest, use "Calif."

Thanking you for this sugge3tion,we

Re: Bureau Policy #910795

Dear Dr. Merriam;

Last Cctober when your car was placed in storage the
accidental hazards were cancelled leaving in effect
only Fire and Theft*

Your policy expires on April 30th and as we understand
that your car is still in storage, we are asking your
authority to renew the Fire and Theft , insurance.

Dnder our practice of writing automobile insurance at
cost you are entitled to a refund of 88^ in which amount
we are enclosing our check. This represents a saving of
ten percent on your policy.

Thanking you for your past support and cooperation, and
trusting that we may be favored with an early reply, we
are.

You are asking us to publish the name of the
Indian Tribe "Ket-tin-tel-be", 18 miles south of Dyerville
and 11 miles north of Garberville, on our maps.

Doctor, as much as I would like to comply with your
request, I cannot consistently do so for the reason that
I am advised that there is absolutely nothing at this point.
You can readily understand that to put this name on the map,
the average motorist would expect to find a village or a
habitation of some kind and is somewhat disappointed when it
is passed by.

For that reason, we do not feel that we should do this

May I suggest that you take up with the Director of
Natural Resources of the State of California, Sacramento, the
matter of putting up a sign at this point, calling to the
attention of the public that this was at one time a former
Indian Village. This, in my opinion, would do a great deal
more good than putting it on our maps.

Dr C.Hart Merriam
Lagunitas
li&irin County.

Dear Doctor Merriam:

I am writing you in the hope that you are now in
California although we have not heard from any of you to that effect.
I want very much to consult you regarding the conditions of the Indians
in our northern counties , off the leservations . As you may know, there
is a general movement in California, since the war, to ascertain and better
the health and living conditions of our Indians. The State Board of Health
in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs is conducting a
motor clinic this summer through Shasta, Siskiyou, Lassen, Modoc and perhaps
other counties . devoting their attention exclusively to Indians.

Our Board of Charities and Corrections is the only
State agency in California which touches the county government in relation
to care of the 8ick,aged and dependent. Our part of t}^ program then is to
work with the governing county boards regarding the support and medical care
of the Indians in their Jurisdiction. I am to make a rather quick preliminary
trip through Shasta,Lassen, Modoc, Trinity and Humboldt counties to get the
facts regarding present care and outline future possibilities , trying as I
go to awaken the local sense of interest and responsibility . I start the first
of next week. As you knov/, I have always had a social interdt in the Indians
but this intensive work is new to me and I ^.vant your help . If you will be so
good as to give me some of your knowledge regarding these particular Indian
groups , it will be very helpful to our whole program and we shall be very
grateful.

If you are in ^an Francisco occasionally ,will you come into
our office at above address or ring me up ? Or, if you are not likely to be
here this week,will you let me know a convenient time and Amy and I will run over
to see you at Lagunitas . Flease give my greetings to Mrs, Iferriam . Amy and
her husband have just returned from a trip to Milwaukee where they attended the
National Conference of Social Work. She is living now at 915 Fulton Street, telephone
Market 1259. We would be very happy to see you and Mrs. Merriam any timw that you
ftre on this side.

Sincerely yours, ^_-«^

My Dear Dr. Werriam:

From Miss Clemence I have learned that you are
again in California.

During the past year I have been on the lookout
for more material in relation to the Indians of north-
western California and have some little information which
may be of interest to you. While in Trinity County I
was informed that the forestry service is interested in
gathering information regarding Indian words, etc. I
addressed a letter to one of the men in charge of the
Weaverville station and have obtained from him the follow-
ing names of men who may have information of some value
to you. The first is that of Mr. Oscar Laws, Deputy
Fish and Oam.e Commissioner, Douglas City, Trinity County,
California. He is said to be well versed in Indian lore
for that particular recrion and it might be well to write
to him. There is also Mr. W. A, Huestis, Forest Super-
visor of the Trinity National Forest, Weaverville, Cali-
fornia, and Mr. E. V. Jotter, Deputy Forest Supervisor,
same address.

I have also handed to Miss Clemence a traced
copy of a portion of a map which I discovered in the
archives of Del Norte County. This is a manuscript map
somewhat faded, drawn by the County Supervisor in 1866*
The portion which I copied lies only partially in Del
Norte County, but includes what you most desire, the
location of Indian villages along the lower Klamath River.
I could not be sure of the correct spelling of the names
in all cases because the map was rather indistinct, but I
put down my interpretation of the original name. The
map itself is on hoavy paper, is made with ink and Pencil,
and is somewhat badly worn and faded. It is possible
that a photograph might have been made of it, although it
is doubtful if a photograph would improve upon the tracing,
especially in view of the fact that there are no experienced
photographers in the county.

If these are of any assistance to you I shall be

most happy

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,

V/ashington. D. C.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

Due to press of other matters it has been
impossible for me to reply before this to your letter of
January 29th; but I take this opportunity to acknowledge
your oommuni cation and to thank you for your kind expres-
sion of appreciation of the Nu^r^et .

Regarding the critical comments which you
made on the January number, we are glad to be shown our
shortcomings in order that we may strive to correct them
in our future work. So far as the Indian legend is con-
cerned , it so happens that before receiving your letter we
had decided to re-tell one of the stories collected in your
Dawn of the World, for the next number of the Nu^ge t * And
in the light of the comments contained in your letter we
have made every effort to include with the story the cor-
rect identification and source. This was of course an
easy matter in this particular case, due to your careful
presentation of the necessary facts and background in your
collection. But as you are aware, not many collections
of such stories are prepared in so complete a manner, the
story itself being generally the chief or whole interest
of the compiler- \\^\xt field being history and not ethnolo-
gy, our purpose in using such material as Indian legends
is 'to throw a side -light on the character and temperament
of the California aborigines rather than to present detailed
studies in the more specialized field of folk-lore. Me
realize also that in presenting only the poetical and romantic
aspects of Indian legendary lore we are inevitably giving only
a partial picture in which the Indian as a story-maker is much
idealized. The legends or firagments of legends suited to pub-
lication in any sort of popular magazine or book must be so
highly selected that they can hardly be called typical; and yat
to eliminate entirely such use of aboriginal folk-lore would be
to leave unrevealed altogether certain interesting and admira-
ble qualities of the Indian mind and temperament. In the
whole matter of the use of Indian legends for popular purposes,
therefore, we realize that we are faced by a number of diffi-

oulties and are open to various degrees and sorts of criticism
according to the point of view of the critic. The Huf>ge t is,
moreover, designed primarily for the boys and girls of the pub-
lic schools of the state, which makes it necessary that the
articles be kept as interesting and far removed from the techni-
cal, abstract or too much elaborated, as possible. It is on
the other hand essential that the information which we present
to them be in itself correct and not so fragmentary that it
gives incorrect impressions. We feel, too, that much of the
material presented in the Ngp^pet can be only suggestive, and we
are offering it with that idea, and giving, wherever possible,
sources of further information on the various topics treated.
V/e are trying to give only authentic and accessible sources, in
the hope that the young people may be led on by their own curi-
osity to read along lines of special interest to them suggested
in the IJu^^et >

We shall always be glad to receive the benefit of your
advice and correction, particularly as our problem is not an
easy one. We feel also that you are one of the people from
whose comment we can derive most benefit.

I am glad to learn that my Genesis has been of service
to you. It is interesting to me to find in how many connections
it is being used to solve problems little and big.

Thank you also for the additional subscription to the Nug-
get . I believe the second copy of the January number has been
sent to you, and two copies will be mailed to you each month as
the magazine is issued. V/e hope to have the February number out
shortly.

With best wishes, believe me

Dtar Dr. M«rriam:

Thank you for your l«tt«r of Jun^i
nineteenth. Wt are indeed sorry to note your
Gonunent on the legend of jJl Capitan. Our aim is
to present only authentic information in the ITu^-
|>et, and while we have thii philosophy to realize
that even with the best of intentions errors are
inevitable, we should like our mistakes to be of
as little magnitude as possible. In locating and
re-telling the legends which have appeared in the
Ifug£et_, Miss Davie s has used a good deal of care
and has tried to exercise discrimination. A num-
ber of the legends she checked back with the texts
as published in the various ethnological series
as those of the iVmerican Museum of natural History,
Smithsonian Institution, University of Galifornia,
etc. Having been for five years on the adminis-
trative staff of the iVmerioan Museum, and having
during all that time been the official publicity
writer for the museum, she realizes the need of
the critical attitude in these matters. However,
owing to lack of time - as you know our funds limit
us to the minimum in the way of staff and running
expenses - she did not trace back the legend con-
cerning 151 Oapitan. It is unfortunate that this
particular legend was not checked before publica-
in our little 'magazine . I wonder on what authori-
ty, if any, Hutchings based the story?

Regarding the t

individually. They have not been signed for the
reason that they represent the work of us two alone,
not of other contributors. So they have been pre-'
sented merely as issuinp from the editors. Were
they in the nature of contributions from outside
sources, we should of course in every case give full
credit. In our little bibliographical notes we
make a special point of referring" to the proper y
sources all matarials used. One of our endeavors
is to build up for our readers a helpful biblio-
graphical background and to familiarize them with
the means of getting on intimate terms with Califor-
nia history.

I should appreciate receiving the copy of
Out-of-Doors containing your article on native Indi-
an names in the Tamalpais region, if you find that
you have an extra copy. We ought certainly to have
a copy of this with our other materials on Calif or-«-
nia place names.

\7e arti always glad of your criticism, wheth-
er it be favorable or otherwise, as we knov; it to be
valuable in either case. Perhaps as time goes on
and improved financial condition permits more ade-
quate a clerical staff, we may be able to give to
the preparation of the Nug;get a care which will pre-
clude the making of any considerable errors.

Dear Dr. ^'oy*" {

Thanlc you very much indeed for keeping
us in mind conoerning the copy of Out-of-Doors con-
taining your article on Indian names in the Tamal-
pais region, and for supplying us with a copy. I
hare read the article with interest, and it has
been placed in our file with other material on Indi-
an place names.

A q^uestion has "been raised in my mind
in reference to the meaning of the second paragraph,
in which it is stated that the Indians of the Tamal-
pais region were the first to "be discovered by 3uro-
peans, it then being explained that Sir Francis
Drake in 1579 carae into contact with them v^^hile over-
hauling his vessel on Drake's Bay. Is it not true
that the first Indians to come in contact with 3uro-
peans were those in southern California v/ho met the
Spanish explorers? Cabrillo, in giving the account
of his exploration along the coast in 1542, relates
that the Indians at San Diego and again along the
Santa Barbara channel made signs to him which he
interpreted to mean that other men similar to himself
and his party had previously visited the interior.
The diary as you know is published in Bolton's Span-
ish Sxplorations in the Southwest, 1542-1706 (Sorib-
ner's, II.Y. , 1916).

Your automobile field trip must have been
extremely interesting. Vie were very glad to get the
copy of the Fifth Annual Report on place names. I am

Dear Dr. Llarriam:

I am working on a Pictorial History of
California, which is soon to be published by this As-
sociation in conjunction with the University's Depart-
ment of Visual Instruction, and we are anxious to in-
clude in it, of course, some good photographs of Gali-
fornia Indian types and handiwork. You occur to us at
once, of course, as one of the people most likely to
have 'pictures of this sort* He are wondering if you
would be willing to cooperate with us to the extent of
allowing us the use of a few such pictures, if you have
them. We would of course make acknowledgment, in pub-
lishing.

You will be pleased to learn, I am sure,
that oar appro-oriation bill for the coming biennium has
Just been passed by the Senate, \Ye are now pinning our
hopes to the Assembly and Governor, and are optimistic
for the success of the measure.

Dtar Dr. Llerriam:

5hank you v«ry much indeed for your
genarous ooopyration in thy matter of the photographs
which arrived a ftiw days ago. ^j?hiiStt would havii ha^n
acknowledged at once had wi* not b«en practically ex-
iled from our office by janitors and painters b«nt on
summer renovations.

We certainly appreciate your kindness
in permitting us the use of the pictures, and the
trouble which you have taken to marce a selection for
us. It is very much to be hoped that the publication
which you contemplaoe putting out on the California In-
dians will appear shortly.

I have examined with great interest and
pleasure the pictures which you sent. It is an excel-
lent assortment. With your permission I shoula like
to hold them for a short time, until we can complete
our choice for the Pictorial. Wie greatest care will
be taken of the prints; and as you mow the building m
which we ar-e housed is fire -proof , so that thuy will be
safe here. As soon as possible we shall return the
prints to you by registered mail.

Again assuring you of our appreciation,
and with kindest regards, I am

Fellow member:

By action of the recent legislature the California State Historical Association
was established as a state institution with the State Board of Education as its
trustees

An important meeting of the members is called at Wheeler Hall, University
of California, Berkeley, Friday, December 30.

Beginning at 2 p. m. there will be a joint session with the Pacific Coast Branch
of the American Historical Association. The program of our association and
other papers dealing with western history will be presented. A business session
will follow the papers at 3:30 p. m.

Fellow Members and Subscribers:

After many vicissitudes the California State Historical
Association is at last able to assert itself as an active
State institution. Under separate cover we are sending you
a copy of the California History Nugget, publication of which
has been resumed with the number for October, 1928.

Members of the Association already know that the purpose
of the organization is to promote knowledge of and interest in
California History. Being now a part of the official State
government, we are confident that the most difficult period of
pioneering is over. We wish to thank our members for their
patience and valuable help during this period of uncertainty.
The Association desires to acknowledge in as far as is possible
all its obligations and to that end former members and sub-
scribers will receive numbers of the Nugget corresponding to
their unexpired subscriptions.

As the enclosed leaflet states, we hope to issue the
California Historical Review at a not far distant date.
Pteterial suitable for publication therein is already being
assembled; members and others are invited to present
manuscripts for examination.

Although the present improved status of the Association
gives it a degree of permanence and a finacial basis not
previously enjoyed, the funds received from legislative
appropriation are too small to insure carrying out our full
program, and the contributions of members must be relied
upon if the Association's activities are to expand. It is
therefore hoped that former members will respond by renewing
their membership contributions for the current year and
assist in securing new members. The information leaflet
includes a detachable membership blank.

Faithfully yours
THE CALIFORNIA STATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

C. Hart Morrian,

1919-16tli Street,

Washington, D*0.

Dear liir:

Your letter of May 7th to the State
Printer has heen referred to us*

The Report on "Mendocino War, Corres-
pondence relative to Indian affairs in
Mendocino County, containing Lieut* Dillon's
Korrative Report of the Round Valley Campaign
li found only in the Appendix to the journal
of the Senate of California, 11th session, I860*
There are no separates so far as we know* i^or
do we know of any extra copies of the Appendix
volume •

We could have the report cameragraphed
for you* It would require six exposures at a
cost of twenty-five cents each. The Library of
Congress doubtless has a complete set of the
California Journals and Appendix and the copying
could probably be done there*

Very truly yours.

State /Tibrarian*

Dr, VU Barclay Stephenst

912 Slireve Building,

San Francisco* California.

Dear Dr. Stephens:

I have your letter of the 30th ultimo advising
me that Dr. C. Hart Merriam of Washington, D. C, who is studying
Indian languages and customs desires to interview the Indians in

San Quentin.

I am very glad indeed to extend to Dr, Merriam

this permission and to afford him every facility possible to fur-
ther his work. I suggest that you advise me two or three days in
advance about when Dr. Merriam will be here, so that I can arrange
to have our real Indians (of tribal birth and connection) picked
out, as I presume it is this class he will wish to see, as distin-
guished from those who though of that race have lost touch with
racial language and customs •

With best regards t

Sincerely yours.

'delay, but will look througli their cases tomorrow and if there is any-
thing different or more specific shown will advise you.

Doer Sirs:

John Jov Edson hes nominatGd Goorce W. vmite, President of the
■etlonel I.!etropoliton Bcnk, for nemborshlp in the Cosnos Club. It pleuses
me to se.-ond his noninotlon. I'r. White wes born Pebrunry 11, 1320 in tne
City of Washington, D. G. Ho who oducntod in our pxiblic schools r.nd tne
Enersor Institute of this city. Y.g received the degree of LL. D. from
Villsnova Gollof;©, PhilfidcliihlP, some yofirs ego.

lie has been President of our oldest netional bank, the Nntionol
Metropol'.tf.n Bpnk, since J-nuary 1909.

• I believe he la quhllfiod for menbership in the Oocnos Club under
Article '*, Section 1, subjection C. ^ believe him to be distinnuJ shed in
B loernod profession, nfi^ely the profession of banking, and in public service.

Ho is Tror. surer. Trustee, pnd Henber of the p:xecutive Committee
of the Centrel DisTiensfiry end Emergency llospitrl of this city, lie is
Troo surer nnd Member of the Bocrd of Directors of the American Perce Society.
He we- connected with the Intelligence Bureru of the War Depart- e.nt during
the World War. Ho is Treasurer pnd Trustee of the Mow York /venue Presby-
terian Ch.uroh. Ho is Treasurer nnd Trustee of the YouTig Women's Gl-.riatian
Home Ho is Treasurer of the Building Fund of the Young Wonen's OT--ristiftn
Association, £>.nd Trustee of thet orgtinizotion. He }ias served ns Gh.f.irnun
of the Washington, D. 0. Clotiring House Associr.tlon, and as Chrir-an of
the District of Colvimbin Bankers AssociHtion. As o Nlcnber of
the Chamber of Comnerce Connittee, he helped to pass the low for IMro >.illk
in the District of Golunblf. . Serving without coripensi tlon, ho wpr e ^-onber
of two juries for the conderanntion of large tracts of land during the v;orld
War He has served as President of the Knerlcan Institute of Bank Clerks.
He has been Treasurer of tv/o large campaign fvmds for the Central Dispensary
end F.mergoncy Hosrital. He has served as Treasurer of the Eastern Dj-s-
pensnrv and Casualty Kosplthl. He hes served as Tror. surer of many public
services such ns cotnraunlty tree celobrHtlons, the Public Educrtion Association
end the like,

Ky view is tliat bf.nking, of the r.etui^e practised by Mr, White, is n
lOf.rned profession, and that the narkod developnent of the NKtlonal Metropoli-
tank Bank under the leadership of Mr. White is evidence thst he is recog-
nized as distinguished in a learned profession.

service .

There is no doubt that he ie recognized as distinguished in public
