Inscribed on paper attached to dust cover, "Birds all over the Ground Crow - 1904 - His coat a clever work of craftmanship - Deer or Elk skin-only the belly opening- no seams-forelegs make the sleeves. In tanning enough fur left for collar- came below the knees. Stuffed weasel probably has his umbilical cord & other medicine in it. This canvas was scorched in a fire where I lost 15 other portraits" on verso
