Early in October, 1892, I wrote to Bishop 

 Durieu requesting a copy of the 1886 edition of 

 the "Chinook Vocabulary," composed by him, 

 and received in reply (November 1) a state- 

 ment to the effect that he would be glad to 

 oblige me, but that ho 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 tliereon. 

 The following is his response: 



Nkw 'Westminister, B. C, 



Nov. 16, 1893. 



Dear Sir: In answer to your favor of the 

 11th inst., I beg to state tliat 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 the 

 title of the work, must be placed under the 

 nameof llev. Father Le Jeune asthe 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 humble servant, 



Paul Durieu. 



This was sent me with the following explan- 

 atory letter by Fatlier 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 those 

 little pamphlets, you had better mention them 

 as arranged by myself out of lessons received 

 from his lordship. 



Tours, 



Father Le Jeune.
