Dear Sir:
Your letter of Sept. 16th received and in reply would say, that Mr. Furnas is mistaken when he states that we rendered him a bill for $60.00 for the books we printed for you. The bill we rendered the State was as per our contract and for extras on his report.

You remember you insisted on us using the bold-face type which made it price and a half matter and we set up a lot of matter which was not used.

In regard to the matter for the payment on the original books does not concern you, and you are only interested in the bill for the books printed for you.

As I understand the matter, you were to pay for these books, and of course if you do pay for them, we will not ask Mr. Furnas to pay for them again.

In regard to the item of 44-1/2 hours for alterations, you certainly ought to know about that, as you made the alterations from the original copy when we printed the second edition for you. Hope you will attend to this matter at once we are,
Yours very truly

Dear sir-:
I don’t know just how to begin this as I don’t suppose you remember me. I am a kid that was at the University last winter along about the middle of march & I was down to see you a couple or three times about birds and you seemed quite interested in the birds in this country and said you might come out here by Sheridan and explore around

louds peak or somewhere near here.
If that trip materializes and you would drop me a line I might be able to help you or if you still think I would not be any bother I might go along.
I see by the “Oologist” that you had a trip after the “White Throated Swifts” with success and I hope you can come out here soon.
Yours truly
Chas. W. Metz
