Title
Post card. Totems near Ketchikan, Alaska.
Description
  • Scope and content: On Backing: "On reverse side of this postal, in space provided for name of addressee, is following in handwriting: 'Mr. Henry S. Wellcome, c/o Mr. Wm. Duncan, Metlakahtla, Alaska. In space provided for correspondence is following: 'My. dear Mr. Wellcome: Having found this card this morning I am sending it to you in lieu of a photograph of the totems on Village Id. It covers only a small group, but the one in the middle, of the three frogs, is particularly interesting, I think.--however, I am sorry to have mislaid my own negative as it covered the entire group. I have never been able to learn to what tribe these totems belong. With Village Id. being so near Annette Id. it seems reasonalble to suppose the Metlakahtla Indians may have erected them. Perhaps Mr. Duncan may know. Kindest regards to you all at Metlakahtla. Mrs. C.G. Quillian.' "
