safe for a plantation word. Without looking up the -cook meaning we have names down this way that get spelled- cook & are land names; the commonest is cheescook or -cake, a steep slope. My guess is for mero [?] - comuk - cook, etc comuk being a limited or enclosed space: whether the -ook implies water there, + there would be anyway, I won't take time to try to find out - it might take a day or two.
About Monhegan, I don't think there is one chance in a lot that the Indians I have talked it over with are wrong; it was and [one crossed out] fairly the important and well known place of the coast, that is, the general neighborhood. Thus the perfect support of other instances of the name here.
