               Leaf B
Some Cherokee women make petticoats of mulberry root back, They stripped bark from the root, and then pealed strips down the inside. These would be 1/4 to 1/8 of an

inch wide, and were then wove together like basket work; and being of a beautiful yellow collour, and of a soft pliable texture, they formed a handsome & comfortable garment.

Their short gowns they made sometimes of turkey feathers, thus it? strips of bark perhaps 1/2 of an inch wide & as long as the intended width of the cloth, was placed on the carpet,  Thus           Then a course of turkey feathers 1 1/2 long was placed on this bark thus [[image: horizontal line with vertical lines ||||||||||]  Then another strip of bark of the same width & length as the first was placed directly over it, & both were then sewed together so as to fasten the turkey feathers, as if in the skin of the animal thus

|||||| Then a second strip of bark like the first, was placed aside of the feathers half way to the end thus [[another image, with 2 horizontal lines and vertical lines |||||| ]] then another course of feathers was placed as the first only the end rested on this second strip of bark instead of the first, thus another image then another strip placed on that second in the middle.
