2/18

May 27th, 1887 from the Evening Telegram, St John's Newfoundland:
At the grave of a noted Osage, the Indians looked to the sun
and prayed:

Jesus give him a fine woman and many ponies, give him plenty of
trinkets & a good gun. Give him lots of fun & no bad recollections.
Jesus give him all the good in your country.

My Dear, God give you fine ponies to ride the skies C. Russell paints.
Sweet rest, joy, lots of fun and no bad recollections.
Wait for your woman.
