Stuk 18 - Letter from Albert S. Gatschet to Professor James G. Frazer

Brooklyn, N.Y. - Is on a trip to Massachusetts to see a person who is one of the last people who knows anything about the language of the Carankawa Indians of Texas, considered extinct; suggests he purchase the work ['Histoire de la Louisiane'] of Antoine-Simon Le Page du Pratz from a French dealer; gives his recollections of what is in [George M.] Wheeler vol. VII ['Report Upon United States Geographical Surveys West of the One Hundredth Meridian'] that may interest Frazer; is impressed with the archaeological museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts [the Peabody Museum]; thinks he quoted G. W. Stidham incorrectly about Creek clans intermarrying, will question him when he next comes east.
