as convenient. If per chance you could procure for me a live Hare 

 in the Summer dress (It is pure white in winter) pray do so and do 

 not mind the price or the cost of its conveyance to me. This 

 animal is abundant in the northern portions of your State and is 

 fully double the size of the common Hare called the "Rabbit" 



With sincerest regards and kindest remembrances to all around 

 you and our mutual Friends, 



believe [me] yours always

The "Parkman Wren" 

 well mounted will soon be 

 on your chimney mantle! 



New York, August 13th 1841. 



My Dear Friend, — 



By Mr. Legare who revisits your City, I have the pleasure of 

 sending to you, the " Parkman' s Wren" and I hope you will receive 

 it in good order. We found it necessary to recaste the position of 

 this little fellow on account of the many shots that passed through 

 its neck when killed. 



I also send you the numbers of the little work wanted by General 

 Lyman which please have delivered to him with my best regards. 

 I should like you to receive the money for those numbers, so as not 

 to cause confusion in our accounts with Messrs. Little & Brown. 

 I had the pleasure of introducing Mr. Legare last year and therefor 

 you will remember that Gentleman. 



With sincerest good wishes to all the Dear ones around you, 



believe me always 



Your attached Friend and Servant, 



John J. Audubon.
