Dear Sir:
I forward you a catalogue of my Eskimo Collection of "One thousand" articles of ethnological interest comprising stone, bone, horn, ivory, flint, fur and wooden utensils, weapons, implements, clothing [?] in Fact an epitome of Eskimo Life. Several museums in the east are negotiating for it; also, there is a movement on foot here in the city to keep the collection as a museum nucleus for the new Library building
