 1882-1883 and no vv in possession of Rev. fimile Le- 

 gal, Piegan Reserve, Alberta, North-west Terri-

In a later letter from Father Lacombe, dated 

 MacLeod, Jan. 17, 1890, he says: "I am yet 

 more or less with the Blackfeet, the Bloods, and 

 the Piegans. "When I have leisure I am work-

 foot dictionary and grammar."

Albert Lacombe was born at St. Sulplce, 

 Quebec, Canada, Feb. 28, 1827. He was or-

 where he remained for twelve years, his charge 

 including the surrounding country inhubitod 

 by French half-breeds and Cree Indians, a large
