Cold night and cold and hazy this morning. Dowell and Adams say scaled partridge comes into the canyon in big flocks. Showed them pictures for identification. The Indians seem honest. We have left numerous taxidermy tools, traps etc., which would attract them , especially the boys, around loose all the time , and have missed nothing. Sent off the trunks and 2 boxes of specimens to Buckman by mule team with Indian driver at 7:30 a.m., trunks to be expressed from Buckman to Santa Fe and boxes to Boulder. Abel Sanchez ((in different handwriting)). 10 years old. This is his signature. Says he cannot write except this. Continued linguistics work with Indians. They say in curing skin first dry it in sun.
