A LETTER FROM A. B. PERRY. 177 



the Indians as well as the Indians. I shall be very happy to give 

 any information in my power which may be of any use. There are 

 many gentlemen in the Territory who would be able to give you 

 varied interesting and accurate information, and thinking it possible 

 that their names may not be known to you, I take the liberty of 

 giving you a list which you will find enclosed. 



The subject which you have ixndei'taken to investigate is most 

 extended and I believe that it will be a reproach to the literary men 

 of Canada and Canadians generally if the question be not thoroughly 

 exhausted and the results accurately recorded. 



You have my hearty sympathy.
