Syllabic typewriter sought

Page 5

Dear Editor:

After reading a few issues of the Windspeaker, my interest in Joe Redcrow's Cree syllabic section has heightened to the point where I would like to request of you, the availability of a Cree syllabic typewriter.

Upon looking at a few issues of your Cree syllabic writing I am now reassured that there exists a typewriter of that nature. Although I have been informed orally and in the written form that such a typewriter does not exist.

Your attention and reply on the above request would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Peter Bugghins, Fort Chipewyan

EDITOR'S NOTE: Joe's typewriter is a rare piece of machinery; there may be another such typewriter lurking around. Joe's looking into it and will get back to you.
