Correspondence from George Walter Chamberlain to Fannie Hardy Eckstorm ca. 1942, part 1 (ms158_b1f021_001.03.pdf)

�When I was in Calais, 1890 to 1893, there appeared in the St. Croix Courier a series of historical sketches of Charlotte County N.B. and Washington County, Maine, which contained some Indian names. I cut the clippings and made two scrapbooks which may now be seen in the New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ashburton Place, Boston. Ganong wrote some of the articles in these clippings and others now dead.

I am sorry to be so late in these facts. If you would like to have it, I can send you the Indian names of York County as used before 1760 and you will have a few additions.

I am a beggar in your field of investigation as you see while I remain

Very sincerely, George Walter Chamberlain
