Dear Mrs. Eckstorm : I have no good excuse for not having acknowledged before your fascinating speculations [?] regarding Pemaquid [?]. Reasons for my reglekt [?] are many, extreme busyness with the A [?] Training [?] Program, illness in my family, etc. But I do feel deeply apologetic for not having thanked you earlier for your generous sharing of a good deal of "food for thought." Have you seen C.K. Bolton : [?] Terra Nova : the northeast coast of America before 1602? I seem to have missed seeing it somehow but I remember hearing Mr. Bolton read a chapter from his manuscript back nearly ten years ago.

Your explanation of the [shell heaps] [?] interested me more than a little. I had never known before that the Indians dried the [oysters] [?] for [preservation] [?] for food. But isn't it possible that a large number of Indians - that is a number within the realm of actual [bestoveal] [?] possibility - might over a period of several centuries or possibly a thousand years, have
