Under the “Totem-Pole"

Letters to Redfeather are answered as follow:

Flying Cloud: I was glad to have your two interesting letters and also that gift from the Hawthornden grape vines. How very kind of you. They looked very tempting peeping between the green leaves, but I was sorry to have been absent from the Wigwam when my faithful Flying Cloud called. Your cat sounds a fine animal, but I can imagine your little sister’s concern for the baby rabbit. The wind will carry your greeting for Red Star, Little Swift Canoe and Sitting Bull.

Mountain Snow: Yes, those are fine stories by Flying Cloud and Harvest Moon. They are very talented Braves. I can see that Mountain Snow is goim? to be a loyal Child of Red#ather. The prize-winning storytellers will be glad to have your congratulations and Red Star will be happy to greet you under the Totem Pole.

Blue Water: Greetings and welcome to Blue Water, who has found her way to the Camp of Redfeather. I shall look forward to hearing all about you. Are you a Guide?

Silver Wing: The other evening I was looking through some of your letters, and I came across your poem, “Darkness.” I wonder if you have written anymore lately? A certain doughty camp cook still looks down at me from the Wigwam Wall with his friendly button eyes, so you see I am not likely to forget Silver Wing. „ . Little Swift Canoe: I was sorry to find that our little music maker has been sickabed and I hope you have quite recovered. Your letter is full of interesting news, and I think you will have received my reply in reference to that important matter. Please let me know' the outcome, Little Swift Canoe. Greetings and best wishes from Redfeather. Sun Cloud: Many thanks for your Cambridge news and your loving letter. I shall write to you and make arrangements for that pow-wow at an early date. What excitement over the combined field day. Little Red Star has been much stronger lately and perhaps will be able to attend. It would be very wonderful if she could see everything with her own eyes. Perhaps you could let me hive a report of it for the next Wigwam page. Good wishes to First Cambridge. Sickle Moon: A voice across the distance. Welcome back to the Camp of Redfeather. Don’t forget to write “March 10” on your tepee wall. Silver Ripple: Yes, the true spirit or Guiding surely comes to the fore when adversity frowns on any member of the Great Sisterhood. I am delighted that your ankle is recovering and I hope you will soon be able to discard your crutches. That picture sounds very interesting, Silver Ripple. I have like that, too. How splendid it will o. when you are able to attend Guide meetings again. . * Red Star: Another arrow from the ljtue faithful one whose friendship steals l so many corners.
