NOTES

TLS is typed on 8.5" x 11" white copy paper bearing the University of Wyoming letterhead. Dated April 17, 1934, and signed by Hebard in ink at signature line. Folded twice vertically, and once horizontally for mailing. Some adhesive at top right corner, light age-toning overall, and light creasing to left edge. It reads: "Dr. Richard S. Uhrbrock / The Procter and Gamble Company / Ivorydale, Ohio / My dear Dr. Uhrbrock: / I intended to enclose this picture with your / Washakie book which I sent yesterday. How for- / tunate I was to get her material. Her hands look / as if she had done hard manual labor all of her / life from childhood, but she lived to be nearly a / hundred years old. She was very gracious and / intelligent, a modest and unassuming woman. I / think all women, red and white, are not as wonder- / ful as she was. / Respectfully yours, / Grace Hebard". Also laid in is a 3.25" x 5.5" type 1 photo, presumably of the woman described in the above TLS. Light age-toning overall, and light creasing. Some adhesive tape near top left corner. Verso has ink emendation. "Cheif Washakies [sic] daughter / Enga Peahrora / Taken Sept. 5, 1926 / [line illegible] / Enga died March 12, 1934 / 98 years of age. Buried / near [remainder illegible]."
