content: From a daguerreotype deposited in the Chicago Historical Society with the following letter: "This certifies to my purchase from A-wun-ne-wa-be, now known as Chief John T. Henry of the Munsey Reservation, Ontario, Canada, of the daguerreotype of the six Ojibbeway Indians who visited Queen Victoria and King Louis Philippe in 1845-46, in charge of George Catlin, who exhibited these Indians in England and France at the time. The personages were identified to me in the picture by the chief, and recorded in his own handwriting as attached herewith; noting those that are still alive, the chief remembering his age is 79 years. This picture, which is unique from the fact that but one was taken, was made in 1851 - five years after their return from England - and bears the date on the back of the original frame with signature of Maun-qua-daus, the Great Chief. This picture was purchased by me at the home of the chief on July 2, 1903, and the names given by the chiefs as written below correspond with the titles given of these Indians on page 294 of Catlin's Ojibbeway and Iowa Indians published in London in 1852, giving account of the reception to the Royalties and their various exhibitions in Europe." (Signed /Walter C. Wyman.) Chicago, October 1, 1903.
