LOUIS SANSSOUCI TO HANGA-CENU. 691 
NOTES. 
This is one of the few letters dictated to the author by women. 
690, 6. Piadi probably refers to Hexapa, mentioned by Jabe ska in his letter, p. 477. 
690, 7. Pijaiige, see 477, 3. 
TRANSLATION. 
Your father wished to see you (again), but he died (without seeing you). Wagqa- 
naji® wished to see you. The venerable man is dead. Your younger sister wishes to 
see you, but her husband is working, and so we will not go away. Last winter your 
younger sister gave birth to a boy, but he died. I wish to hear whether you and the 
children, in yonder land, are well and happy. Your younger brother has sent his 
picture back twice. The old man was illas he came from that land (Indian Territory 2), 
and, as the illness continued, it killed him. In vain does your younger sister wish to 
see you.
