Native American tools: a random collection of 10 stone pieces without provenience: 1 raw stone, 6 arrowheads, 2 flakes, 1 knife blade: some of these artifacts were loaned by individuals, and one projectile point (the longest one, black) was found on GCI on May 25, 2008 by a visitor.

A letter from Louise Marr about the estate of a man named Bill Chamberlin. She compares this to the managing of her sisters estate, and says "nothing the courts and lawyers do is done in a hurry."

She ends the letter with a quote from the lawyers, and then adds her availability for the summer to manage this estate.
