.Dr. A l ox. 7e tmor e , 
Sebastian, Florida. 
ily dear ,'etmore: 
Your request for photographic fiLms has been filled to 
the extent of the stock now on hand. If you need more, please 
let us know. As indicated in our telegram we nave a considerable 
number of pictures of pelicans taken at some little distance from 
the birds. Tae views that are most desirable therefore, are those 
made as close as possible and illustrating the nest, eggs, and 
young , rather than the adult birds. 
Checks for salary have been sent you at Bradentown and 
Punta (Jorda. If you have not received them you should write 
to the postmasters at these points regarding them. 
Ail of the cameras in stock are now in use in the field 
so that it will be impracticable to give you the camera you 
formerly used. However , the negatives you are securing with this 
one are very good. In conclusion, I may say that the name of 
the manager of the Swan Island Club is Poywer. hr. hoses "'Illiams 
of Boston is the president. You may have to hurry your FLorida 
work to get one a to Currituck Sound .before the swans leave. In 
order to get definite information on the date they usually leave 
and as to whether very many sick birds have been observed this year, 
it might be well to write or telegraph, as you think best, to hr. 
Poyfter, whose address is Knotts Island, K. C* » and to Hr. J. B. 
Wh i te , Tatar l i ly, H.C. 
Buchanan has just reported that he has been discharged from 
the array and after a vacation period v/ill be already to return to 
work. 'Vi th best regards. 
Sincerely yours.
