was mailed at St. Joseph, Mo.; it was directed to Isaac
Nash, Ballston Spa, Sarotogo County, N. Y.; it arrived at
Sarotogo Springs June 5th. It was marked _Missent_. This
letter was written on large sheets of pale blue paper with
black ink, and is in good preservation now, 1908.--_Florence
E. Baker._
SOME CORRECTIONS.
"Seth Luelling," near the bottom of page 282 of volume III should be
Henderson Luelling.
In the twelfth line of page 284 of the same volume the word "clearer"
in brackets should be omitted, as the author intended by the word
"lighter" to refer to the specific gravity of the water.
In the seventeenth line of page 289 of the same volume the words
"blue" and "mountain" should not begin with capital letters.
Mr. H. S. Lyman requests the insertion of the following note referring
to the recently published "Complete History of Oregon":
_To the Editor_--
As my attention has been called to some points deemed
erroneous in the History of Oregon, I would ask space in the
OREGON HISTORICAL QUARTERLY to say to subscribers or
purchasers of the work that I would esteem it a favor that
any matter deemed inaccurate or erroneous be communicated to
me.
Errors in a publication are usually of the following
character: Typographical, merely; slips of the proofreader;
mistakes of transcription; misapprehension of the writer; or
of differences in authorities. Besides this there is the
wide field of differences in opinions, or conclusions--many
being unable to distinguish between a fact and what is
properly but their own personal inference from facts, or
supposed facts. Still further, different persons will
estimate differently the value of events, and give varying
proportions to the elements constituting the whole.
