Collection Record

letter, 01/01/1933, D Teviotdale, Oruarangi Pa to H D Skinner, Teviotdale has been working steadily at site, claims Mr Hovell has attained more than 100 articles while Teviotdale has been there. Dr Liggins worked a whole week for nothing. Teviotdale has about 40 articles from his lot including a waha (?) ika, a small wooden bowl with a spout, a long bayonet shaped bone point about 10 metres long, only complete item found there so far. Mr Loyd was there, and found several things, Teviotdale has enclosed the drawings within the letter when it was sent made by Loyd. Loyd claims to have the finest collection of greenstone owned by any collector. He is the cartoonist for the Auckland Weekly, with homemade paua shell buttons on his coat! Could be a worthwhile acquaintance. Teviotdale unsure of when he will leave, Hovell is saying to wait until the place is finished. He is sending the waha ika and bowl to Dunedin, the wood is badly in need of treatment. He is also sending his finds to Auckland for Mr Archies
