Title:		Natchez materials, Samuel George Morton Papers
Contributor:		Anthony, John Gould, 1804-1877
		Powell, W. Byrd (William Byrd), 1799-1866
Date:		1838-1839
Description:		Letters discussing grave robbing of Indigenous ancestors' remains. Anthony writes to Morton that he can't get Mr. Dorfeuille to part with the skulls; Dr. Mason has the Natchez head. Powell compares Atakapa and Natchez skulls, criticizes Morton's use of single examples from each tribe, discusses his desire to take 500 specimens on a phrenological speaking tour in England, criticizes Combe's comments in Crania Americana, and alludes to a professional dispute. This appears to be the same letter from Powell listed under Atakapas material.
