In connection to baskets and axe/pick handles being sent from Pictou Landing Indians to the Welfare and Training Service, an order for Mi'kmaq baskets from Pictou Landing were delayed as the Indians were busy ploughing and planting their fields.
Note
Dear Sir, This letter accompanies a shipment of baskets addressed to Gibson Armstrong as requested by Miss Moodie. Some time ago I sent 2 dozen. I thought then that I could send you the balance last week but the Indians happened to be busy ploughing and all I could get was 5 doz., less 4. I hope this shipment will be satisfactory and that you will forward payment for same at your earliest convenience.
