Corinne, Utah, 
dear Wetmore: 
So that we may act in accordance v/ith the railings of the 
Secretary’s office relating to outside work, it is desirable to 
know whether the arrangement of your being in charge of t le collection 
of bird skeletons in the National Museum was ever officially approved 
by the Department of Agriculture. In sending information on this 
point, it would be advisable to give the length of time you have held 
the position. If you plan to do any teaching at George Washington 
University this year, it would also be well to submit data relating 
to that work so that it may be submitted to the Secretary for approval. 
It is desired to have on file a statement of the character and amount 
of all outside work being done by eii 5 >loyes. 
Very truly yours 
Assistant Biologist.
