My Dear Friend:-
Yours of the 15th instant has come duly to hand. I do not happen to know at present of any one who would care to invest in Bendira’s Life Histories of North American Birds. However I think that I can dispose of your Hawks and Owls by Fisher for 1.50 or 1.75. You might be able to get better prices for these things by advertising in the American Bird Magazine with Cha. K. Reed, Worchester, Mass.
Where have you been for the past year or two. I have not heard from you or of you in that time. We have been working more or less regularly on the birds of Nebraska and have gotten out a report on the birds of the state. I will try to send you a paper bound copy of it. With best wishes, I remain,
Yours very truly,
