content: An unsuccessful search was made in the Smithsonian Institution-Bureau of American Ethnology correspondence files on November 25, 1958 for the original letter of J. Fred Rowell, Stamford, Connecticut, August 22, 1891. However, a copy of the Director's reply was located in the letter book of the Bureau of American Ethnology (marked "S" on cover) for March 28, 1891-June 22, 1892, pages 158 and 160. These show that the original letter was Number 194 for 1891 and was referred to H. W. Henshaw for reply.

content: The 3 page manuscript catalogued as Bureau of American Ethnology Number 4 is a copy, with the Pequot words in two columns, headed, "My scientific transliterat'n" & "Rowell's own orthography." Although this copy is in a neat Spencerian script not resembling Henshaw's and probably that of a clerk, the author of the "scientific transliterat'n" was probably Henshaw, since the letter was referred to him for reply.
