From E. S. Morse 26 August 1879
Tokio Japan
Aug 26th 79
My dear Sir
I take the liberty of sending you some proof sheets from a Memoir of mine on the Shell Mounds of Omori Japan. It is now being published by the University of Tokio and will be out in a few weeks when I will send you a complete copy.1 I thought you would be interested in the changes which have taken place between the ancient forms and those now living in the immediate vicinity
I expect to be back in my home at Salem Massachusetts for good, in the course of six weeks.2
Knowing how busy you are I beg you will not take any of your precious time in acknowledging this.
Very faithfully yrs | Edwd S Morse
