BuREAU OF ForREstrY, 
Washington, D. C. January 3, 1908. 
Sm: I have the honor to transmit herewith Part I (Revised) of a 
collection of papers by Professor Henry 8S. Graves, Director of the 
Yale Forest School and a collaborator of this Bureau, entitled ‘‘The 
Woodsman’s Handbook,’’ and to recommend its publication as 
Bulletin No. 36 of the Bureau of Forestry. 
By bringing together information so thoroughly valuable to the 
lumberman and the forester alike Professor Graves has made pos- 
sible a long step toward the better understanding and appreciation 
of each by the other, and has added a most useful member to the 
forest literature of the United States. 
Very respectfully, 
GIFFORD PINCHOT, 
Forester.
