Frederick Stoever Dickson papers relating to Abenaki languages, 1883-1923 (bulk 1917-23).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702181250

Papers consist of correspondence, notes and manuscripts relating to Abnaki-English lexica compiled by Frederick S. Dickson, Sr., based on the work of Jesuit priest Sebastian Rasles and Abenaki chief Joseph Laurent. Correspondence includes letters from William B. Cabot, Irving A. Hallowell and Frank Gouldsmith Speck regarding Abenaki etymologies. Notes and manuscripts document Dickson's compilation of lexica based on Rasles' Caniba lexicon and Laurent's Western Abenaki texts. The collection also includes two published volumes which are heavily annotated by Dickson (Rasles, Dictionary of the Abnaki Language [Cambridge: American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1833] and Laurent, New Familiar Abenakis and English Dialogues [Quebec: Leger Brousseau, 1884]).
