DEAR SIR, 
I received by to-night’s mail your ecard asking for a few 
notes on the finding of pottery, of which I sent you specimens. 
In July 1877, I heard that Indians had found pieces of pottery 
by the “La Have,” not far from this Village, where people of 
their race had an encampment in early times. I went to the place 
with one Venall, who told me that having found an arrow head 
near the surface, he, and other Indians had removed the ground 
and discovered pottery. We searched and found arrow heads 
and pottery, nearly all at a depth of two feet and more. One of 
the pieces I retained, has a round foot, as if originally part of 
the bottom of a pan or vessel. Another has a round hole, through 
which a string may have passed for carrying or hanging up the 
vessel. The pieces are of varying thickness, and differ in the 
making or designs. In some the latter appear as if made with a 
finger nail, in others with a stick. The marks on the upper 
edge, or what was the top of the vessel, are in some as if made 
with a round-edged stick, while others have marks like tally 
notches and close together.
