I have no doubt that The American Bison Society will accept 
the offer contained in your letter with due recognition of its im- 
portance. 
I am forwarding copies of your letter to the Hon. James Wilson, 
Secretary of Agriculture, and to senators and members of Congress 
who are interested in establishing the Wind Cave National Game 
Preserve and a herd of bison therein. 
I beg you to receive for yourself, as Director of the New York 
Zoological Society, and for its Board of Trustees, the grateful ac- 
knowledgment of the offer that you have made from its President, 
and the assurance to the Trustees that favorable action will be taken 
by the Society at its next meeting. 
Very sincerely yours, 
FRANKLIN W. HOOPER, 
President, The American Bison Society. 
CLOSING PARAGRAPH OF THE REPORT OF MR. STANLEY 
BuLLock on LANDS ADJOINING WIND CAVE 
NATIONAL PARK 
I sincerely hope that this proposed Buffalo Park meets with 
the approval of the Government. I do not think they could find 
a better location for a project of this kind. There is plenty of water 
and shelter in the Park, and horses and cattle ranging there this 
winter are in better shape than any that I have seen elsewhere. 
I have had several years’ experience in the cattle business and can 
say that the Park is an ideal location. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) STANLEY BULLOCK.
