Beads Wide. The Tape When You Lay It Out And The Tapes Are Bent Backward It Will Say Back So That You Will Not Get The Good Side Wrong. I Will Set Up The Other Design And Go To Work On It So That I Hope Will Be Done In A Week Two At The Most If I Dont Have To Go No Where. Next Friday I Have To Go To Greenwich To Talk A Couple Of Hours, But Will Be Back.I Am Going To Mag La Que's Pow Wow.Have The Kettles Left For The Islands Yet.

My Daughter Gave Me A Young Puppy For, Fathers Day And I Am Working On His House, So That He Will Be Set For The Winter. Well That Is All The News Here. May The Creator Watch Over You And The Great Spirit Be Your Guide
