You may, if you wish, say that I am a resident of Milton 

 who some years ago used to hunt and shoot the game birds, 

 shore birds and water fowl, but now pursues them only with 

 field-glasses. 



Trusting that these lists and any part of this letter which 

 you may wish to use may add to the value of your publication, 

 I am 



Very truly yours, 



Ralph E. Forbes.
