content: Extract from letter dated January 15, 1948, from Frederic H. Douglas, Curator of Native Art, Denver Art Museum, addressed to William H. Fenton, Bureau of American Ethnology: "The identification on the photographs are those on the 1676 inventory. Modern Swedes have no other source of information than this list and could tell me nothing about the collector or the place of collection. I have absolutely no personal ideas about these pieces and am delighted to add your comments to my store of information. "I have no plans for publication. The matter was not discussed with the Swedes and I am not qualified anyhow. If you or some other expert in this field wants to publish I am sure that you could get permission from the Swedes. Dr Torsten Lenk, Livrustkammaren, Nordiska Museet, Stockholm, is the man who seems to be in charge of the specimens."
