luy dear Wetmore: 
Most of the specimens mentioned in your letter of Juno 20 have 
been received, everything you mention in fact except the bird sicins. ■ 
She specimens have been cared for as you desire and all films sent 
and if you continue paclcing them as these were I think the results will 
be better on the whole than under the method used in previous years. 
It is proper to collect plant-lice in alcohol, but the Psyllids had 
better be sent dry like the other insects. 
A roll of cotton nas been sent to you at Gallup, and I v/ill put 
in a request today amending your letter of authority so us to make the 
amount available under it ^320. Such increases are made to date from 
the day they are requested. I will have to wait a few days before 
getting out your food habits letter. 
With best regards. 
to Mr. Kent for developing. The insects came tlirough in good shape 
Sincerely yours 
K 
Assistant Biologist.
