content: A drawing tablet, now disbound, containing 18 drawings of tipi designs by Murphy.

The drawings are the final preliminary drawings of the Cheyenne tipi models created by Cheyenne and Kiowa artists for the Field Columbian Museum.  The annotation appearing on many pages "made 1906" refers to the date that a model tipi with that design was produced. The tipi models are in the collection of the Field Museum of Natural History.
