The length of the mentions range from very brief to more substantial.

Five letters mention a Tahltan man named Adset (or Adsit) with whom Teit worked. (See especially letter of November 20, 1908.) Other mentions of Tahltan people or language may exist elsewhere in this collection but are not known.
