Content Letter sent to Rev. Robert Sibley Baker. The letter has been lost, and the contents incomplete. "a wonderful gentleman who wrote to me has seen the identical game played (with some variations, and rather stricter rules) by the Bogas, or native bargees, in South America, on the river Amazon, I believe. Trique (Treekay) is the name they give is, and they play with maize and coffee beans for men." Bogas are the word used by the Pijao people of Colombia to refer to their boatsmen. Baker 1871: 130.
