content: English-Potawatomi dictionary, with notes on pronunciation of "Po da wahd mih" language; also additional and repeated words; illustrative sentences; names of berries, trees, and plants; numerals; the Lord's prayer, etc. Attributed solely to Bourassa by Pilling, Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 13, page 54. Original Bureau of American Ethnology catalog card indicates Gailland as author; certainly the writing of the introductory 4 pages and much of the rest looks like his.
