Letter from Harry L. George to Dr. C. Hart Merriam requesting information regarding baskets made by the Panamint Indians.
Vol II pg. 102D
A typewritten letter to Dr. C. Hart Merriam of the Bureau of Biological Survey in Washington, D.C. It discusses a request for information regarding baskets made by the Panamint Indians, presumed to be located in Inyo County, California, between Death Valley and Owens Lake. The writer expresses difficulty in obtaining information about these baskets, despite their mention in Professor Maxon's work, and asks for assistance in finding one or more specimens. The writer has been purchasing Native American baskets for years during trips to the far west and is committed to securing specimens from each tribe’s work. The letter ends with gratitude for any forthcoming assistance and is signed, "Yours very truly."Subject
