content: Also includes English index to Biloxi dictionary. Typescript and autograph document. "These . . . comprise the printer's copy for the Biloxi-Eng. (1 & 2) and Eng-Bil (box 3) part of Bull. 47 by Dorsey and Swanton. The slips were typed by Swanton and some times have pencilled additions in Swanton's hand. In at least some cases the changes in orthography introduced by Swanton are indicated here. Swanton's dictionaries (others as well) were printed directly from cards such as these. I have not had time to look at Dorsey's file of slips, but it may be what Swanton copied these cards from." M. R. Haas 6-17-71.
