MANNERS, CUSTOMS, AND HISTORY OF THE INDIANS OF SOUTH-WESTERN TEXAS Burlington, March 14th, 1855. Sir:-Yours of the 10th inst. has been received, and enclosed you will find a portion of my notes, which, being readily tran- scribed, I send for your inspection. I have not mentioned, heretofore, that I obtained many curiosities, such as weapons, ornaments, pottery, etc., drawings of which might be interesting among your illustrations. If I had your work to compare with my notes, it might save me some trouble in transcribing, as you may have obtained much that I have. When you write, acknowledging the receipt of the enclosed, let me know respecting anecdotes and stories.
