A two-page letter from Sarah J. Henderson to Harry George noting she is packing baskets for shipment and describing the same.
Vol. 1 P 225D.
Dear Sir:
Today I am packing the baskets about which I wrote you under
date of Feb. 8th, and will probably send them off by tomorrow's express.
The basket No. 5, was sold to me for a Shasta , but I take it to be either a Pitt River, or a Hot Creek, ( Hot Creek being a tributary of Pitt River).
When I questioned the former owner about the matter she said she classed all from that section of country as Shastas; however as I find at the last moment that I cannot make room in this box for that basket I am substituting for it a smaller
one of the same kind, that has lately come into my hands, price $5.00, and sending you also two others (a Quinault, $4.00,
and No. 79, a curious combination of an evidently Klamath bottom with a Neah Bay top $5.00) that I believe you may like.
These items are taged according to price before quoted, but I will make you prices as follows:
Namely: No. 1, Cowlitz, or soft Klickitat $5.50
" 2, Oblong Bilhula 14.00
" 3, Northern Alaska, near ???? Bay 7.00
" 4, Covered Neah Bay 4.00
" 6, Small Hazel Stick .70
" 7, Old Yakutat Bottle 65.00
" 8, Quinault 4.00
" 79, Klamath and Neah Bay work 5.00
----------
Total $ 105.20
1 Hot Crun 5.00
-----------
110.20
The bottle is packed inside the soft baskets, and I shall take the precaution to have the box marked (glass).
Hoping that these articles will find favor with you, I remain
Yours Very truly
