Dear Dr„ Sapire:
By the enclosed you will see that we are trying to define the place-names along the Old Spanish Trail. We have had considerable nice cooperation. We are still doubtful about some of the definitions given.
Your name has been given to us as the leading American Indian linguist. If it is not too ranch intrusion on your time will you look the enclosed over for any criticism or suggestion?
There is a great deal of travel thru this country between Florida and California and a consequent interest in the old history. This list, therefore, will be very much appreciated by the American traveling public.
Sincerely,
Ha/b
