Rederal regulations will now De enforced to the best of our ability 
within the limitations of the funds appropriated for the purpose. 
I regret very much that you will be unable to mak e the trip 
to Washington and hope that we can redeem ourselves another year. 
I made inquiries as to whether your letter of authorisation 
will cover the purchase of bombs and have been told that there is 
no doubt that it will. I will put in a request for an increase 
in your letter at once. 
I will try to find out the probable fate of your rooms and 
let you know the result in a personal letter. The plants you 
mentioned have been received and I will send you the identifications 
you desire as soon as they can be obtained. Many thanks for your 
notes on the bird bones 1 sent you. As little as I know about bird 
bones, I felt sure they belonged to a duck, but I will keep them until 
they may be definitely named by comparison when you return to Washing- 
ton. Blank itinerary reports and iiiemorandum books for traveling 
expenses have been sent to you. I am inclosing a copy of the Migratory 
Bird Treaty Act and Regulations. There are plenty of these on hand 
now and any one desiring a copy may obtain it by application. 
Best regards. 
Sincerely yours.
