Volume 4 · printed page 3190 · Richmond, Va.

[Somewhere in Hoodoo I probably mention the Doctor Buzzard of Richmond, Va., a man who doctored a short time in the city a few years before I collected there. While personally transcribing the Richmond cylinders I made the follow- ing note about him:] [The] story [I just heard on the cyl- inders is] about Dr. Buzzard - tran- scribe later - important because this man - because he put fire in his mouth - is probably the Dr. Buzzard I met in Norfolk [Va.] - I had forgotten the account here and did not recall it when I met Buzzard in Norfolk - the description here of a tall brown man and goatee sounds something like the man I met - who was a little off in his head. [Richmond, Va., (389), 338:4.] A notation on this sheet reads do not copy whole story. Some of Norfolk Buzzards material is or will be in Hoodoo.]
