Dear Sirs : 



I am informed that you contemplate the 

 manufacture of an automatic gun. 



In a republic one learns that his rights 

 do not overlap the rights of others, 

 whether in politics, education, social life 

 or even in pleasures. 



On the one hand is the sportsman who 

 finds delight in his accuracy of aim and 

 in the number of birds, we will say, he has 

 bagged ; on the other hand is the nature 

 lover, who finds his greatest pleasure not 

 in accuracy of aim, but in accuracy of per- 

 ception ; who bags facts, not life. 



It is useless for either to attempt sym- 

 pathy with the other's viewpoint ; they are 

 as diametrical as the poles. 



At this time, when even the sportsman 

 bewails the scarcity of game, when bird 

 lovers mourn and search the woods in vain 

 for some favorite that used to be abun- 

 dant, is it fair to either to produce any 

 weapon that shall still further curtail their 

 pleasures ? 



The feeling that our feathered friends 

 were created for some purpose other than 

 destruction was given proof in the Legis- 

 lature a year or 2 ago, when the whole- 

 sale slaughter of plumage birds was sup- 

 pressed. 



Any firm contemplating the manufacture 

 of weapons more life destroying than those 

 already 'on the market would do well to 

 put its finger on the public pulse. Protec- 

 tive societies are in vigorous battle the 

 country over ; nature books are bewilder- 

 ing in numbers, which points to the theory 

 of demand and supply ; cameras and other 

 aids to the better study of natural life, were 

 never so popular, and the manufacture of 

 such - a gun as that contemplated may not 

 unreasonably lead to prohibitive legislation. 

 Respectfully yours, 

 Mrs. Grace Squires. 



I received the Hawk Eye camera and 

 thank you for your generous treatment. I 

 am more than pleased with the camera 

 and will do all I can for Recreation.
