cient and Modern Discoveries in New

Oregon in 1854 after he had taken
part in some Of the explorations.

crpt from the typewriter copy sent
from Seville, checking up on the
papers from the photographs of the
original. Dr.. Hammond worked to
supply notes for the book to be pub
lished this approaching summer. Ar
engagements have been made with a
large publishing company to publish
the history.
