Mr. Cook writes me, under date of June, 

 1883, as follows: "I am now copying and re- 

 writing for the printer a much larger work, 

 which for three years past I have been pre- 

 paring, viz, a Commentary on the book of 

 Genesis. It will run to 400 or 500 pp. perhaps. 

 It is in the Yankton dialect, and I hope I shall 

 be able to have it properly printed, which the 

 catechism is not."
