Handwritten notes written vertically on a lined note card titled "Burned moc. [moccasins]," a folk tale of the Mississagua Indians. A citation is given for "Tales of the Mississaguas," Alexander Chamberlain, Journal of American Folk-Lore, Vol. 3-4, p. 151, with additional citations to other texts. The story as recounted by Chamberlain is about a fox who does not like his son-in-law and attempts to throw his moccasins into the fire at night, but accidentally throws in his own. In the morning he discovers his mistake, and when he has to go without, blackens his legs and feet with a coal. Thus the fox's black legs. Undated.

Brief handwritten notes on an unlined note card titled "Burning animal," a Hopi myth. Also noted: "ball in right cup." A citation is given, likely for "The Traditions of the Hopi," H. R. Voth, p. 164. In this story, a young eagle visits the house of Hasohkata, even though Spider Woman told him not to. Hasohkata ties up the eagle, and puts him in front of the doorway, to keep his house warm. (He is also in a direct line of the fireplace, so that he is being "smoked.") Spider Woman sees that the eagle has not returned, so she goes to find him. She gets all the other animals to gamble for the eagle's freedom. They win with Mole hiding under the floor, keeping a ball in a cup for a shell game. Undated.
