Washington, D.C. - Thanks him for his copy of 'Totemism'. In his linguistic investigations he encounters tribes christianized long ago and who have lost remembrance of totems, but refers to customs of the Tonkawe [Tonkawa], whom he met in 1884 at Fort Griffin, Texas; gives information on tribes eating totemic animals, specifically the Iowa, Tuscaroras, Iroquois, Creek, and Shoshonians; says the statement of [Francisco] Pareja about the Timucua is probably about the people from the West India Islands. A printed slip about 'Simplified Spelling' from the Spelling Reform Association is tipped in to the letter.
