� for you to pass them along, I don't know. I pass a lot of place names

  & odd spellings from Maine & N.H. you could pass, but imagine you don't 
 want to be cluttered by them. 
 The mercy about D - lithgow is that he 
 did not try to know anything about the 
 language so as to get in & mess things up. I've great respect for him, & should
 none pass thought of translating without his list as a starter. And he printed &
 was done with it, more than I pass & at best I see myself as in half 
 a starter, hoping that local light coming from here & there will enable 
 a finish - some time. 

 As to printing I pass some impulse to certain writing, if I pass not gone by at 
 it, & with that in the running it may be that the pack work of assembling 
name stuff won't get the [illegible] 
way now. 

 I think our northern canons were made from trees smaller than the 
 2 ft. you mention. Also along with 8 cm of bark the relative ease of making 
 from canvas counts with us, "Anybody
 can make a canvas canon" is the word. 
 It was not so with bark. 
The leaves are mostly down now, it is 
 the dream time of the year. 
      faithfully yours
