I have a beat-up old copy of the original but would love to have a pdf if you can send one. 
Have been thinking of using it in my Anth of Lg workbook/reader. Thoughts?

It is in a collected edition of his essays that I found in a used bookshop in Berkeley.

C. F. Hockett. 1977. How to Learn Martian. In The View from Language. Athens: U Georgia.

If anyone wants the PDF, ask me off-list, and I can mail it to you.
