Respectful Request for a Translation

[Duane Pasco]

Jeff........
	I get a lot of this kind of thing. There's really no concept of  
anything like that in Chinook jargon. I could contrive something, but  
here's the thing........... If I were say it to a Nastive who knew no  
English, it would make no sense to him. Much was the case with  
missionaries doing scripture in jargon. The natives had no idea what  
they were saying.
Hope all is well with you.
Duane
