Summary of letter from Charles Fletcher Lummis
Charles Fletcher Lummis reviews the evidence and is satisfied with the investigation of the Moqui (Hopi) Indian Reservation. He is not opposed to Charles E. Burton but against Burton’s administration. The card catalog is now interested in snakes and Lummis mentions a book from before 1590 on the subject.
