Manuscript in the library of the Minnesota 

 Historical Society, concerning which Mr. J. 

 Fletcher "Williams, the librarian of the society, 

 writes me as follows : 



" When Mr. Lynd was murdered by the very 

 savages whose origin, history, religion, and lan- 

 guage he had so conscientiously labored to il- 

 lustrate jn bis work, the manuscript was in his 

 trunk, in an apartment of the trading house 



Lynd (J. \V.) — Continued. 



where he was employed. It then consisted of 

 perhaps 600 pages of foolscap and was com- 

 plete and ready for the press. The Indians 

 threw the package out on the floor, in search 

 of money or other valuables, and the leaves be- 

 came scattered on the floor. A few days after- 

 ward the troops occupied the building as quar- 

 ters, and, unfortunately, no one knowing the 

 value of the manuscript or not caring for it, 

 it was used for waste paper, until an otlicer with 

 more intelligence than the rest noticed it aud 

 saved the remainder in a soiled aud torn state. 

 Out of the 600 pages which it had originally 

 contained, only 172 leaves remained. No one 

 chapter renuiins complete. Sometimes there 

 are several consecutive leaves, with a break of 

 many pages. The chapter on language has 

 now only four leaves. One of these is marked 

 xxvi, showing that it was of considerable 

 length. Other references to the Dakota lan- 

 guage are scattered thioughout the work. Mr. 

 Lynd seems to have had a theory of the Euro- 

 pean origin of the tongue. He gives two tables, 

 one page each, to show similarity between Da- 

 kota and European words."
