Scope and Contents
"Miami Cards." Caption in J. R. Swanton's writing. Perhaps meant to be interfiled; or perhaps "rejects"? 37 cards, typed. "Miami language." Word list in Gatschet's hand, apparently the source from which some typed cards were transcribed. 4 pages. Letter of J. Eugene Hall, Chicago, Illinois, to Gatschet, Miami, Indian Territory, November 29, 1895. 1 page. Concerning typing of cards by Hall; typed on same machine as some of typed dictionary cards, above. "Rejected Peoria Cards. May contain Shawnee and Miami." Caption in J.R. Swanton's writing. "Rejected" by Gatschet? More likely by Swanton, who may have considered editing for publication. 84 cards.
