about his new city at Charlotte Harbor and says we must all go

AVith kind regards to you, Mrs. B., Lucy, in which Mrs. B.

Sincerely youi'S, 



G. A. BOARDMAN. 



Calais, Maine, Sept. 5, 1886. 



Dkar Professor : 



I leceived a letter from Capt. Bendire, written August 12, say- 

 ing he would be in Calais the next week and see rae. It was 

 written in Bar Harbor and I wrote him to be sure and come along. 

 Have not heard anything from him since. Hope nothing has 

 happened to him. 



My friend in Minneapolis wrote me he would send you the 

 skin of the black Lynx. He has had it tanned and will be a rare 

 skin for your fur collection. I Avas very sorry he cut off the head 

 and feet to get it tanned but it was poorly skinned and he did not 

 know the rai'ity of it. 



I hope Capt. Bendire may come along. 



A man by the name of Prof. S. F. Baird said, or wrote that he 

 might be down east this season. If you see him please say to him 

 to hurry along as the season is fast going away. 



We are having nice weather. Charles' family are with us but 

 he is now in Boston and is expected down in a few days. 



With kind regards to all the folks, I am 



Yours as ever, 



G. A. BOARDMAN. 



Letter from Mr. Boardman to Mrs. Baird. 



MiLLTOWN, 19 Sept., 1869. 



My Dear Mrs. Baird: 



I commenced to write to the Professor hut I am so cross to 

 think he should return home in such a way as not to come to see 

 us again, I don't think I shall write him again, until I feel better 

 natured about it. 



I remember those bad names he told you to call me, for not 

 going over to Grand Manau with him, I wish you would multiply 

 them by ten, and then put them all on him.
