Mr. Alexander Wetraore, 
Biological Survey, 
Washington, D.C. 
Dear Mr. Wetmore;- 
I am just in receipt of your letter 
of December 16th with which you enclose list of specimens 
taken under authority of Scientific Permit #131. 
You must have been exceedingly busy 
when in this State to have taken the number of specimens 
that you did. Ordinarily collectors that are in the State 
for only the length of time that you were, get very few 
specimens. 
With best seasonal wishes, I 
beg to remain 
Yours very truly.
