"Rev. Aleck Thompson is almost a full blood Creek who speaks very little English.  He was a former pupil of Augusta Robertson Moore.  He has himself made a reference work of his Creek Lev., Psalms + Genesis by copying upon the margins the references from his English Bible to the part of the scripture contained in the Creek translation--a tremendous undertaking it seems to me for an Indian so little educated.  The notes on the back of his letter from Tiger are [?] Mr. [?] Thompson's own [?] work.
    Johnson Tiger is one of the best educated of the present generation.  He has been preaching in his native tongue entirely until recently[,] being called on to speak in English in the absence of the regular preacher, he spoke so acceptably that his hearers have persuaded him to continue his English preaching."*
