TS Bulmer letter part 2 (Kamloops Wawa)

[David Robertson]

We can hope some student of Jargon will track down Bulmer's papers.
There's probably a dissertation to be written on them.  I've found lots
more Jargon stuff from Bulmer (either definitely or probably), including
writings on geography, astronomy (?), and religion.  That's just Kamloops
Wawa things...it's looking like he really did compose a great deal of
material in CJ.

Did I pass along St Onge's letter that was published in KW?  I'll do that
right quick if not.
