Dear Mrs. Weaver
and
Russel Moran:

I'm very sorry that I can't help you with the totem pole. My Indians are of the Plains — chiefly the Sioux — and we don't carve totem poles. I would suggest that you write to the Director of Information, The Indian Bureau,

(over)
Dep't. of the Interior, Washington 25 D. C.. You might say that I suggested your writing. I was for several years the Dir. of Information under John Collier and Mr. Brophy. Perhaps I am not quite forgotten there.

But, my whole heart is with you. I want to help.

(inside)
The enclosed check merely signifies my desire to help. How much is needed?

Yes, Slade Kendrick is tops in every way. Bless his heart!

Sincerely,

John Neihardt
