Dear Mrs. Eckstorm, In order to absolve myself of inattention to one of your problems I am taking the unusual course of giving it a New York slant to relieve the monotony. I am strongly inclined to think that the element Wadchu[underlined] is concealed in the second syllable, which you are inclinced to think is accidental; resulting in Peg or Peeg-Wadchu-es-st - of course constructed to Pegwachet or Pigwachet. I think you have two examples of this form, early, but this is from memory. Merely dislocated from the reservation temporarily as I return on Saturday. Yours Sincerely, CE Banks
