Campfire Girls,
Dear Girls: 7 inclose clipping
which shows you are interested IN
Indian bead work.
Nv present plans are, that I will
90 through Omaha in September.
How would you like for ME to teach
YOU bead weaving-if you do not
know how-so that you may make
YOUR head bands and belts if you
care to have them.
This seems like quite while
ahead of my plans for being in
Omaha, but I would try to get the
real Indian beads from Pine Ridge
agency to work witt. and that may
take some time.
If | would do this, is there any
special colors, you would like to
have.
It would give me great pleasure
TO do this, as all Campfire girls are
verv dear to me for the sake of one,
who passed into the Great Beyond
on December 2, 1918, at Simpson
college, Indianola. Ia. She belonged
TO camp at Clarinda, Ia. Sincerely
