I’ve been working at the chantey for over a year and have more than nine hundred texts in my own col- lection, but I’m not going to print any of them unless you’re "interested. And the best way of proving that you are interested is to sit down and send some in. If you do, please send them in just as they are really sung; T will do all the editing neces- sary to make them printable.

I’d be greatly obliged to any of you men or women about the Camp-Fire who would send in a few more of the songs our grandfathers and grand- mothers used to sing.
