Letter of the Day: March 15

Fort Wingate N.M.

March 15th 1870

 

Surgeon General U.S.A.

 

Gen.

 

I have the honor to enclose for Army Medical Museum Ten Photographs of Navajo Indians and one reduced copy of a sketch of one of the Mogin villages.

 

They are all very poorly taken and printed, but the best that can be got here, and may be of some interest as illustrating the Navajo dress, features +c.

 

On Feb. 11th I forwarded a small collection of crania and weapons to the Museum and sent Catalogues with Receipt of A.A.Q.M. for packages by mail on same date.

 

Very respectfully

Your Obedient Servant

R.S. Vickery

Asst. Surg. U.S.A.
