in vocabulary, but I am going to send you this last material, you don't have to use it, can keep or burn it. I've got a regular copy in a book. What I expect to send is the indexing slips on tapes, bad for reference but you might care to take off selections, as off my other mss. stuff. Used in a dictionary way the tapes would want to be cut up & pinned on a wall or ironing board etc.

About the Rasles etc. I don't think they will get lost, & we have to trust the good Lord some anyway. I want to get up to Lincoln before long, & will look in. The Bangor boat looks my sort of travel.

The O'Brien stuff is naturally rough, though as good for name work. What I took from Aubery is like pearls in it. Your saying it was better than Rasles has come back to me, he was a scholar. Somewhat bungled in the eyes forms copying 2 am

Sincerely yours W. B. Cabot

Shall try to get Aubery photocd., & think of having it sent to you first, for a visit.
