I sent your letter about the BHR ms. to George Hansen [a]nd he wrote a note in returning it that he borrowed a copy of Ethan Smith from a Washington, D. C. Library and showed to Guy C. Wilson, who got it into the hands of BHR. I was reasonably sure that George was responsible but also thot I might be mistaken. However this note confirms the fact. It is merely an interesting foornote to the affair.
