My Dear Sir:-
I am in receipt of your letter of Febr. 1st as well as the report of the work of the national Audubon Society for the year 1904.
While I am very much interested in the subject of bird protection, I am already spending from twenty five to fifty dollars a year on this kind of work in our own state and although I would like to contribute to the national organization, I do not feel able to do so at present. Hoping that the present year will give greater results, than any in the past, I remain.
Yours very truly,
