Correspondence, 1896-1903.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56945374

The collection consists of three folders of correspondence concerning Saville's expeditions in Mexico between 1896 and 1904. The material is a mix of handwritten and typewritten letters (many carbon copies), telegrams and lists of equipment and costs. The subjects are primarily practical, concerning the planning of the expeditions and the shipping of artifacts, including negotiations over payment and legal questions about exporting. A few letters by Saville describe interesting finds, such as a 1901 letter to F.W. Putnam containing a sketch of cruciform underground galleries in Mitla. Other correspondents include Leopoldo Batres, Francisco Belmar, J.F. Loubat and Clark Wissler.
