�of those seen by Gosnold and which gave the name to the claim. The voyages of the norsemen make as much impression on me as a London Fog. They may have got as far as Newfoundland.

Again the Saco River. Of course Sawahcatuk [sic? See: Sawacotuk] was applied to a limited area-the place where the great river has its outlet. But the river itself must have had a name. The French called it Chouacoet [? - May be Chouacoit - both show up in Google].

This seems to have been omitted in the shuffle so I send it in separate container.

A friend of mind from Saco calling here to-day says there is no island at the mouth of the River as shown on the Champlain map. It is therefore proper to consider it as existent when [he?] gave the place a name.

Need not return the enclosure. He was a Yarmouth Me doctor, I believe and worked round the Abnaki etymology in the good old way of Ballard et al.

Yours sincerely Charles E. Banks
