ADDRESS REPLY TO

February 4, 1919. 
Mr. Alexander We tmore. 
Sebastian, Florida. 
Dear Wetmore: 
Mr. Nelson asks me to remind you of the investigations relating 
to killing of egrets in Florida at present and traffic in their plumes. 
If you have learned anything of interest in this connection he wishes 
you tcjsend it in now, as he will have need for all data on this point 
very soon. 
Your second shipment of specimens was safely received and at- 
tended to as you desired. I nave learned the names of some of the 
last lot of plants sent and inclose them on a separate sheet. 
I wall add, also, that the botanies desired by you were mailed 
to Punta Gorda, in case you have not received previous letters giving 
this information. 
Sincerely yours. 
Assistant Biologist.
