Early in October, 1892, I wrote to Bishop 

 Durieu requesting a copy of the 1886 edition of 

 the "Chinook Vocabulary," composed by hiiu, 

 and received in reply (November 1) a state- 

 ment to the efl'ect that he would be glad to 

 oblige me, but that he had written no such 

 book. Transcribing the title-page of the little 

 book in question, I sent it to him asking an 

 explanation, as his name was given thereon. 

 The following is his response ; 



New Westminister, B. C, 



Nov. 16. 1893. 



Dear Sie: In answer to your favor of the 

 11th inst., I beg to state that what I wrote you 

 in my last is but the truth. I have not written 

 anything in the Indian language or in the 

 Chinook. What you have enumerated under 

 my name, because my name is mentioned on tlto 

 title of the work, must be placed under the 

 name of Ilev. Father Le Jeune as the publisher 

 and the author. But to make sure of it, and 

 in order that your bibliography may be correct, 

 I will sei.d this letter to Rev. Father Le Jeune, 

 of Kamloops, begging him to give you the 

 name of the author of those works you have 

 placed under my name. 

 I have the honor to be. dear sir, 

 Tour bumble servant, 



Paul Durieu. 



This was sent me with the following explan- 

 atory letter by Father Le Jeune : 



Kamloops, B. C, Nov. SI, 1892. 



Dear Sir : Bishop Durieu gave me those les- 

 sons in Chinook, in a few flying sheets, over 

 twelve years ago (September, 1879). Of course 

 those sheets are lost long ago. As his lordship 

 does not want to appear as the author of th(jse 

 little pamphlets, jou had better mention them 

 as arranged by myself out of lessons received 

 from his lordship. 



Tours,
