- Scope and Contents
- Pages 20-47 of a handwritten Meskwaki (Fox) syllabic text, collected by Truman Michelson in Tama, Iowa. The writer is unidentified and appears to be the author of another text in MS 2658. The Bureau of American Ethnology catalog card states that the informant is "Shawata (?)," but the writing does not match that of Frank Shawata, one of Michelson's known Meskwaki contributors, nor that of his wife.
