letter, 05/03/1935, W.A. Ferry, Kaikoura to H.D. Skinner, Have received the 5 G.S. pendants. Glad the Kaikoura section of the collection is looking well but hopes to still find some more material. Mentions a piece of doubtful authenticity, suggests it might have been done on a carborondum wheel. The only man capable of making a fake like this is Miller as it takes a lot of skill to cut greenstone on a wheel. Also sent to Skinner some bone and rubbish from the pa overlooking South Bay so he can get an idea of when it was occupied. Little chisel is nicely shaped and authentic, but is of little value so Ferry does not expect payment. (P.S. write to Parsons about his uncommon bone ornament).
