Dear Mrs. Eckstorm,

I am glad you saw why the Havering [?] book came back to me telling your war tale. Krosner [?] uses the same frame in all his stories, but the clothes he puts on the frame are so thin, & the more or less [one illegible] people are so constrained [?], that you don't mend at all. Anyway a bird sings its song.

I really mean to run up to Lincoln, soon, & you would better not bother with shipping my stuff - I'll collect it.

Senglecoma [one word in left margin] These two indigestibles, Senaglecoma & Ripoganus, affect many middle regions. We have Senetakecomet in R.I., rather a tree marsh [?] idea: there are some cognates & I will dig at it as inner promptings arrive.

Ripogencus [sic? one word in left margin] The Ripo- is a wild stab, but we have names in R.I. & Ct, beginning Wip-, for crack, rift, fissure, narrows, hollow tree.

Description: Letters concerning Indian languages, culture, and history.
