LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
Department of the Interior
United States Geological Survey,
Washington, D. C, January, 1905.
Sir: I transmit herewith a bulletin on the origin of place names in the United States. This is a second edition of Bulletin No. 197. The material has been compiled from various sources, printed and manuscript, as set forth in the introduction. I think this work will be of great interest as embodying much local and general history.
Very respectfully,
Henry Gannett,
Geographer.
Hon. Charles D. Walcott, Director United States Geological Survey.
