content: Catalog numbers 437,842 through 437,845: These four small masks were received by William Sturtevant in 1975 from David R. Fair of Tampa, Florida as a donation to the museum. This was Fair's second donation to the museum, following Acc. 281,587 received in 1968. Both collections contained related material consisting of family heirlooms. In associated correspondence found with these masks, Fair corrected information provided earlier on the collector whom he had named as Mayland Cuthbert. In the more recent correspondence he changed that to be Howard Malcolm Hutchinson. This is undoubtedly Hayward Malcolm Hutchinson, a founder of the Alaska Commercial Company who traveled to Alaska in 1868.
