Dear Sir,
Your letter of June 5th just reached me at this point.
As usual I am off on my summer collecting trip.
With reference to the Karuk Indian work I can furnish you excellent specimens of the various weaves - and anticipate another trip among them in a few weeks. If I find any thing of special interest will save it for you, and send it as soon as I return from my trip.
I have 2 or 3 old specimens of Cartamon in stock, at home. So far as I know do not believe anyone else has any of these rare old Baskets - as I have made a special study of the “old mission” Baskets from S. F. to [Ian Dregs?] For years have secured every specimen available.
Will also have some specimens of Cayuse Basketry.
You will hear from me immediately upon my return with a bundle of Baskets on selection.
Within two days times will be in the Yale + Chilcotin country.
Very truly
Grace NicholsonSubject
