Mr. Walter Deane 

 29 Brewster Street 

 Cambridge, Mass. 



Dear Mr. Deane: 



Thank you very, very much for those photographs of your- 

 self with the humming-bird. They are lovely. I shall send at 

 least one of them to NATURE MAGAZINE when I write "The Order of 

 Pan" article, and perhaps you will not mind my having a lantern 

 slide made from one of them, to use in some of my lectures. 



May I trouble you for a bit more information: How did 

 you happen to get the pictures? And do you use sugar or honey 

 or other sweet stuff in the water, as Mrs. Baynes has often done? 

 And - please - what sort of bands did you use? Were they simply 

 wire rings such as Audubon used on his phoebes? 



With warm regards and many thanks, I am, 

 Sincerely yours, 



EHB :BH
