 Bowdoin College 

 My Son, — 



Mr. Audubon called this evening and repeated 

 the invitation for you to accompany him in his or- 

 nithological excursion, to the Coast of Labrador. I 

 told him I should submit it to your option, that if 

 you had an ardent desire to go, I should not repress 

 it, and if you had no special desire to go, I would not 

 urge it. If you desire to accompany him, you may 

 raise funds by drawing on me at sight and selling the 

 bill. Mr. Audubon says that two hundred dollars 

 and coarse clothes are the necessary outfit. If you 

 conclude to go, settle up at Brunswick all your ac- 

 counts and start for Eastport. Audubon sails this 

 evening for Eastport & here he will remain about 

 ten days. You may take Bangor in your way. If 

 you have no strong' desire to go on this expedition, 

 you will regulate your course in Maine before your 

 return as you may desire. Write me your wish by 

 next mail. 



Your father, 



Geo. C. Shattuck.
