 Dear Sir. 



I received by to-night's mail your card asking for a few 

 notes on the finding of pottery, of which I sent you specimens. 



In July 1877, I heard that Indians had found pieces of potter}^ 

 by the " La Have," not far from this Village, where people of 

 their race had an encampment in early times. I went to the place 

 with one Venall, who told me that having found an arrow head 

 near the surface, he, and other Indians had removed the ground 

 and discovered pottery. We searched and found arrow heads 

 and pottery, nearly all at a depth of two feet and more. One of 

 the pieces I retained, has a round foot, as if originally part of 

 the bottom of a pan or vessel. Another has a round hole, through 

 which a string may have passed for carrying or hanging up the 

 vessel. The pieces are of varying thickness and differ in the 

 markings or designs. In some the latter appear as if made with a 

 finger nail, in others with a stick. The marks on the upper 

 edge, or what was the top of the vessel, are in some as if made 

 with a round-edge stick, while others have marks like tally 

 notches and close together.
