A three-page handwritten letter from F.M. Gilham to Harry George noting he would like to sell to some of Harry George's friends and discussing Pomo feather baskets. Vol 1 P. 166D
Mr. George
I thank you for your past trade.
I would like to sell to some of your Friends who are going to put their collections in
the Public Library.
______ I have all the Full and ¼ feathered Pomos to be had. I have a fine red 11 inch "????"
\____/ basket which I have known of for a long time and could not secure.
The old ???? died a few months ago and as her old husband was a Negro it was
not put in her grave.
I do not know of but 2 more such baskets and they will not be done for a year or so.
I am out amongst the Pomos every 2 weeks and buy all good baskets to be had at a
reasonable figure. In case you see any one who may want Pomo baskets, please refer them
to me unless it should interfere with you.
I have sold over 400 Pomos to anyone in the last 75 days and the trade is always better than in the winter. I guess they are selling to people coming to the Fair.
If you can come to the Fair in S.F. let me know I will be there Sep 10 - 20.
Respt.
