say this much but truth and loyalty to my experiences require
that I should. Capt. Clarke, of the Army, spent years,
under orders of the War Department, in elaborating the sign
language which Mr. Hedley has undertaken and his book is a
valuable contribution to the ethnology of the Indian,
proves to be of no worth beyond that, simply because
there are not so many Indians who use the sign language.

Yours truly.

Dear Sir:

On my recent return from Lake Mohonk I purchased
through tickets over your lines and the Ontario & Western
Road from New Paltz to New York, after being assured by the
agent from whom I purchased them at Lake Mohonk House that
they were good to stop over at West Point on any train, either
the West Shore or the Ontario & Western. On my arrival at
New Paltz, having had a previous experience of this kind, I
asked the Railroad agent, showing him the tickets, if he was
entirely sure that I could stop off at West Point and take
any train, either the West Shore or Ontario & Western, into
New York, and he assured me that I could. I got off at
West Point with my party about 10 o'clock and got aboard the
train at 1.13 and was compelled to pay fare for myself and
party to New York. I enclose the tickets herewith and have to
request that you will return to me the fare between West

Point and New York City.

Dear Sir:

You will have to send me $58 before I can send you
the wagon, and if Alex. wants one he will have to do the same
thing. I cannot send wagons away until I get the money.
You must remember, too, that it will cost you about $25 for
freight in addition to this and that you will have to pay be-
fore you can get the wagon when it reaches Pine Ridge.
