Sir:
. . . The British-Israel theory is complete nonsense, as anyone with the slightest knowledge of history, anthropology or philology can tell. Using the same method of the similarity of names, it is possible to "prove" that the American Indians are descendants of the ancient Greeks: the Kiowas came from Chios, the Croatans from Crotona, the Aleuts from Eleusis, the Chilkats from Chalkis!
. . . Actually, there is no mystery about the fate of the Ten Tribes. Most of those exiled to Media died of harsh treatment; the Assyrians were the Nazis of their day; the few survivors intermarried with and were swallowed up by the natives of the region . . .
