"Notice" on page 2 refers to, "the present pamphlet...," suggesting that the typescript was made from a printed pamphlet. However, no reference was found to such a pamphlet in either the Bureau of American Ethnology correspondence 1909-1964, or in Elsbeth E. Freudenthal, "Catalogue of the Washington Matthews Collection at the Museum of Navajo Ceremonial Art, Santa Fe, New Mexico," July, 1951.
