Am glad to hear that Barkahym[?] relation[?] is interesting. The Mattanawcauk[?] idea is [illegible], as daring[?] up a third claimant[?] in the case. You see, I was perfectly[underlined] satisfied with the little cut -off islands as the basis till I got to Lincoln. Then Hubbard's meaning[?] is a fourth. I've[?] no doubt some of the old words in common use have gone out + equivalents come in, as [illegible] is Agamenticus, which no Indian I have put it to has made anything at all of. The present description would be from another radical. | Am glad to hear that Barkahym[?] relation[?] is interesting.
