(1) Letter from Higgins to Henry containing ethnographic notes and vocabulary (see pages 23-29) of Apache tribes of Arizona Territory "collected from captives belonging to the Chiricahua, Sierra Blanca, Pinal and Coyotero tribes," dated April 21, 1866, New York City.

(2) Letter from Henry to Gibbs, dated April 24, 1866, transmitting Higgins' letter for comment.

(3) Draft letter from Gibbs to Henry, dated April 25, 1866 commenting on Higgins' letter.

(5) Letter from Higgins to Gibbs, dated May 2, 1866, discussing various Apache tribes and bands by name, including those from which the vocabulary was recorded.

(6) Gibbs' copy of Higgins' vocabulary in printed Comparative Vocabulary form.  Gibbsʹ orthography differs from the original in some cases, especially in the numbers.
