Dear Doc;- Yours of the 16th reached me yesterday, -at home nursing 
a light attack of grippe. I shall be here to meet you Nov.l to 5, barring 
the possibility that Dr. Fisher can be induced to extend his time on a field 
trip with Ligon and me. He informs us that he must be in D.C, by Nov. 5,- 
8o it is likely that we shall be obliged to return to Albuquerque by Nov.l. 
I shall be much interested in your findings as regards quail. We are 
making preparation for beginning coyote-poisoning operations. Your visit 
should be just in time to help us with some good suggestions. 
We are just at the end of a very busy season of work,- and entering one 
that promises to be even more busy! You lucky scientists dont appreciate your 
enviabl e po si tions ! f 
Trusting that you will give us a good, long visit. 
Sincerely yours.
