�I doubt crooked being just the right word for the[?] added meaning, but one can't hold an Indian to fire[?] for his English. Anyway he was near enough. Now I have[?] let myself think What all the Ronaqtue[?] forms you came[?] to Are really Reneneqls[?][partially underlined], features of length with a break or twist in them. Beauchampi[?] Maha I don't know about, but take it as some form of magnificent ; still it may work[?] for a tide word. O'Brian has Kanangawenuk, flood tide, (perhaps Spring tide or an extra high tide) V. Qwenanargek[?], long island (Islesboro) is curiously like Conanicut[?] R.I. in type There is a connecticut R. m[?], Long Island, + Contoocook, N.H. They fix[?] pultmll[?] Anyway when you get kenytuc[?] name I think it goes with long[?], + a buck[?] or Fruit[?]. There is something in that - egh[?] - That it[?] hasn't got at yet, hasn't tried particularly. Are[?] in a pretty futile period as regards finishing up names : just star[?] them[?] up + go away. sincerely[?] yours William Cabot.
