Abstract
"I am enclosing a clipping for your information. And, since that story was written, I am told that another of the old me has been taken to the Indian Hospital at Nespelem, gravely ill and may die. I understood he was strictly a non-treaty Indian, but perhaps he has some minor recognition there and hence has disqualified himself as a member of the Wanapum band, other than blood ties and friendship and for ceremonial gatherings. And, since the letter, there has been a baby born, buts its mother is a Yakima and is enrolled in the Yakima tribe and hence, I do not believe, is a non-treaty Indian."
