large corpse and inclosed many charred bones of a human being. 

 There were three wraps inclosing the remains, all differing in fine- 

 ness of texture but woven in the same way. Each of these wraps 

 could be removed separately and in pieces of several yards in 

 length and breadth. In this wrap was also a stone, the upper side 

 highly polished, the lower side, or that resting on the charcoal is 

 burned and roughened and has the appearance of blood burned 

 and adhering. The thickness of this stone is one-fourth of an inch 

 in every part. The holes are larger on the burned side and small 

 on the other. 



This is an interesting mound and has not yet been opened 

 sufficiently to know much about it. I wrote to several societies 

 and sent them specimens, asking assistance to make a thorough 

 excavation with drawings etc. Received promises but nothing 

 more. Believe the one discovered is only one of a series of altars 

 or furnaces of cremation that may be found. 



Yours most Respectfully, 



N. E. Jones.
