Willis Eugene Everette

[Anthony Grant]

Dear David:

Thanks for this.  It's certainly possible, but since his Alsea material mostly comprised a thousand-word vocabulary, it would make for a long and rtaher unusual letter.  But it's not impossible, I suppose.

Everette had a habit of writing his data into a letter format. We found 
some letters by him in the NAA in the correspondence series. I wonder if 
the Alsea material is in a similar format in a different archival 
collection?

I remember talking about this with phonologist Gene Buckley, one of whiose specialisms in Alsea, and he knew that the work was supposed to exist but hadn't tracked it down.  I imagine he used the Powell schedule for his elicitations.
