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 Lo- 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.
