It is good to hear from you again and know that you are safely back in the United States. And I am glad also that you liked mj address on â¢Baird, the Naturalist.' V lou may possibly remember that on my map showing the distribution of Indian tribes from the Oregon line to a little South of San Francisco Bay there was a gap in and a little north of the Bagle Lake region. This was the biggest gap on the map and one I have long hoped to fill. During the present trip I worked this region in detail camping with five different tribes and succeeded in securing the needed information. And furthermore, we camped five days with the old Indian who gave me the account of the origin of the world and the moving of the moon and sun which I told you about last winter, but which lacked certain chapters. This time the old man filled the gaps thus ccanpleting the History of the Universe. pi 'â¢'T' 'â. z. It is a wonderful taleâin my judgment the most eating and important yet obtained from any of our aborig*- inal peoples. He still have several field tripe ahead of us and hope to acoomplish a good deal more before the rains set in. I hope you succeeded in digging up some old American material while in Spain and trust that Mrs. Grinnell enjoyed the trip. As ever you
