(1) An unsigned note, presumably from Kennicott to Gibbs, titled "Memoranda in reference to Kennicott Indian vocabularies (of Arctic America)."  Kennicott lists seven vocabularies being sent and provides information about the circumstances under which they were collected.  He also discusses other vocabularies he wishes to collect and related matters. A note on the Kawchodinne (Hare) vocabulary indicates that the vocabularies were sent to Gibbs in October 1863.
