Today's reading

[David Robertson]

>From an 1892 letter from the Williams Lake area:

"Naika shako tanas kamtaks Shinuk pipa, kakwa naika tiki pus kwansim maika 
mash kapa naika maika aias tlus pipa, iaka nim Kamlups Wawa, pi naika mamuk 
mitlait iht tala kopa ukuk pipa."

"I've learned to read shorthand a bit, so I want you to keep sending me 
your wonderful newspaper called Kamloops Wawa, and I'm enclosing a dollar 
for the paper."

Any questions?  I'm in a hurry so I'm not breaking this down word by word 
just now.
