[Note about report by Major L.T. Burwash]

Note by an unknown author and recipient. It reads: "I find that the library of our department has 3 copies of this most interesting report by Major Burwash and there is also a copy in the National Archives, Geological Survey Museum, and RCMP libraries.

Our librarian was unable to suggest a price as he calls it a 'collection item'."
