PERSO NA L LETTERS
The following letters relative to the Indian String Quartet of Che-
mawa have been received by the manager, Mr. R. H. Kennedy:
Amity, Or., Oct. 30, 1915.
I have heard only expressions of delight and wonder from the people
of Amity since the appearance of the Indian String Quartet here the
other evening. Many have expressed a desire that they might be se
cured for a return engagement in the spring. The editor of The Stand
ard remarked to me the next morning that one number alone was worth
the price of admission.—G. O. O liver , Pastor M.E. Church.
Portland, Or., Dec. 8, 1915.
The members of The Hustlers’ Club of the Rose City Park M. E.
Church desire to express to you their appreciation of the splendid pro
gram rendered by the representatives of the Chemawa Indian School.
The musical features were excellent, especially the compositions of Mr.
Turney, and your narrative lecture on “ Les Miserables” was most in
teresting and instructive. We are under great obligations to you for
your kindness in making it possible for our people to enjoy such a pro
fitable evening.

Brownsville, Or., Nov. 24, 1915.
I hear nothing but commendation of the program which you fur
nished last Saturday, consisting of the musical numbers played by the
Indian String Quartet. Everyone with whom I have talked about it
feel that they received more than their money’s worth. It was one of
the best things in the musical line that we have ever had in Browns
ville. I hope that at some time when the weather is more favorable we
shall be able to have your group with us again. The C. E. Society,
under whose auspices the entertainment was given, are also elated over
the matter. They feel that they have done a thing worth while in
giving the people here the treat they were thus able to furnish.—C. F.
K oehler , Pastor Presbyterian Church.
Poatland, Or., Dec. 9, 1915.
Permit me in this more permanent form to say to you what I was
pleased to say publicly the night of your entertainment in our church
I have never heard a better condensation of Victor Hugo’s great master
piece than you gave. We especially appreciated the original produc-
