James C Pilling to Frederick Saunders, Letter, 1887 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON D. C. Feb 28 1887 Mr Fred. Saunders Astor Library My dear Sir I have in press (reading proof of letters C-E now) an Eskimo bibliography and am desirous of giving translations of Eskimo letters. I have all the Eskimo dictionaries except [illegible] [illegible] is there a copy in the Congress Lib. May I ask the great favour of the loan of your copy for a few weeks, the volume to be sent by Express at our expense and to be insured if you prefer. Major Powell [illegible] me say that the Geol. Survey or the Bureau of Ethnology will either or both be glad to reciprocate at any time. It may be against your rules to do this and only a strong desire to make the bibliography as complete as possible permits me to make a request. Very cordially yrs James C.
